No. 5 TCU rolls into Stillwater on Saturday where they'll face No. 12 Oklahoma State in a huge Big 12 battle. Both teams are undefeated, and with the top of the Big 12 so crowded with good teams, neither of these teams can afford to drop a game and still expect to compete for a College Football Playoff berth.
TCU vs. Oklahoma State 2015: Start time, live stream, TV schedule and 3 things to know
Get ready for a shootout in Stillwater. Here’s how you can tune in, and what to watch for.
By now, everyone knows about TCU. The Horned Frogs got left out of the Playoff last year, and they haven't stopped burning teams to the ground since. The latest team to taste their wrath was West Virginia, which lost 40-10 and had Dana Holgorsen giving Trevone Boykin a high five for gashing his defense. They're humming right now.
Oklahoma State, meanwhile, feels like the new kid on the scene. They’re undefeated just like TCU, but their wild 70-53 win over Texas Tech last week was probably the first time they were seen by a big national audience. We may not know as much about them, but they’ve wrecked the seasons of Big 12 favorites before, and it seems they can certainly do it again this year.

Three big things to know
1. Just watch Trevone Boykin. TCU’s quarterback might be the best player in the country. He’s put up ridiculous numbers nearly every week this season, and he’ll be facing an Oklahoma State defense that isn’t scaring anybody. Enjoy this incredible player while he’s still here.
2. Get ready for lots of points. TCU has the second-ranked scoring offense in the nation at 48.9 points per game. Oklahoma State is seventh with 44 points per game. This game is probably going to take over four hours to finish, but those hours are going to be filled with points upon points upon points.
3. Can anyone get a stop? After some early struggles related to turnover and then injuries, TCU’s defense has stabilized itself somewhat. Oklahoma State should provide a tough test for that squad, though -- I mean, they scored 70 points last week! -- and the answer we find on Saturday will be instructive as to what we can expect from them in the rest of November.
