If you are into offensive football, then tune into Saturday afternoon’s game between two of college football’s top offenses when No. 7 Oklahoma State visits No. 8 Texas A&M in the week’s only matchup of Top-10 teams. The Aggies are 4-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA football odds.

The winner of this game should then have a clear path toward a winner-take-all matchup for the Big 12 title and potentially a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. This matchup begins the final season for A&M (2-0) in the Big 12, with the Aggies already having accepted membership to the SEC.

You won’t see better skill position players on the same field likely anywhere else this weekend. The Aggies are led by QB Ryan Tannehill (583 yards, 4 TDs), RB Cyrus Gray (223 yards rushing, 4 TDs) and WR Jeff Fuller (11 catches, 131 yards). A&M hasn’t been tested yet in home blowouts of SMU and Idaho. The Aggies are 17th in the nation in points per game at 41.5 and also ninth in scoring defense at 10.5 ppg. They have the benefit of being off last week and thus extra time to prepare.

Despite losing offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen to West Virginia, the Oklahoma State offense might be better than last year’s. Behind QB Brandon Weeden and WR Justin Blackmon, the Cowboys (3-0) lead the nation in passing at 408 ypg, are second in total offense (601 ypg) and third in scoring (52.3). Weeden already has thrown for 1,154 yards and 6 TDs, while Blackmon has 27 catches for 329 yards and 3 scores. And RB Joseph Randle is second in the Big 12 with 378 rushing yards.

The Aggies lead the nation with 11 sacks, and slowing down Oklahoma State's blistering attack will start with getting pressure on Weeden. Kyle Field has not hosted a top 10 matchup since 1975. OSU has won three in a row in this series, the Cowboys’ longest streak vs. the Aggies. It was 38-35 last year as OSU forced five turnovers.
