The Golden Hurricane (8-4 SU, 7-5 ATS) put together an impressive seven-game winning streak before losing their final regular-season game 48-16 to the Conference-USA rival Houston Cougars - who were ranked No. 8 in the nation at the time.
 
In fact, all four Tulsa losses this season came at the hands of nationally-ranked programs, as they were beaten by Oklahoma (then-ranked No. 1), Oklahoma State (then-ranked No. 8) and Boise State (then-ranked No. 4).
 
Tulsa finished 23rd in the FBS in scoring (34.1 points per game) while ranking 24th in rushing (204.6 yards per game) and 41st in passing (249.8 yards per game). The Golden Hurricane defense was rated 67th overall in points allowed (27.6 points per game).
 
Brigham Young (9-3 SU, 8-4 ATS) won eight of their last nine games to finish with the best record among the four Independent teams, losing only to the TCU Horned Frogs by a 38-28 score back on October 28 during that stretch.
 
The Cougars ranked 41st in scoring (30.6 points per game) and wound up 23rd overall with a stingy defense that permitted opponents to score an average of just over 20 points per game.
 
The UNDER is 9-4 in Tulsa’s past 13 non-conference games, and the Golden Hurricane went 4-8 O/U against the number this season. BYU was 6-6 O/U, and the UNDER is 7-1 in the Cougars’ past eight games against opponents with a winning record.
 
The stage is set. Bet the bowls with Bovada's NCAA football odds.
