For Oklahoma, even though the Sooners got beat by Houston 33-23 in Week 1, they still have the Big 12 title in front of them. Bob Stoops’ Sooner team is 2-0 in conference play, tied with Baylor for first in the standings. OU is favored over K-State this week, but the Sooners can’t afford to lost to the Wildcats if it still wants a shot at the Big 12 title.
Kansas State is 1-1 in conference play, suffering a one-point loss to West Virginia on the road two weeks ago. The Sooners are 16-1 under Stoops the week after they play Texas. That one loss came just two years ago against Kansas State.
