Oklahoma (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) was the preseason No. 1 team in the land but was stunned last Saturday at home by Texas Tech, 41-38, ending OU’s national-leading 39-game home winning streak. Landry Jones threw for 512 yards and five touchdowns but the Sooner defense was gutted for 572 total yards. That loss dropped Oklahoma to No. 9 in the BCS standings and basically ended its national title hopes, although the Big 12 title is certainly still possible.

Kansas State (7-0, 4-0) was unranked to start the season but is now No. 8 in the BCS standings and atop the Big 12 with Oklahoma State – the Wildcats are at OSU next week. The K-State offense is clicking of late, scoring 100 total points in the past two wins. In a 59-21 blowout of Kansas last week, Wildcats QB Collin Klein threw for a career-high 195 yards and accounted for five touchdowns. Klein ranks third nationally among FBS quarterbacks in rushing with his 95.7-ypg average. KSU is 7-0 for the first time since 1999.

Oklahoma has won four in a row in this series but the two haven’t played since a 42-30 OU win in 2009. This will be only the sixth in the history of the series that the Wildcats head into the game with a higher national ranking than the Sooners, with K-State holding a 4-1 record in those games. OU is just 1-4 in its past five Big 12 games. The Cats are 4-0 in their past four as a dog.
