Prediction: ISU @ OU

OU - 42
ISU - 24

I hope it's only that bad. In all likelihood, we're going to get crushed. They were already going to be angry that we ruined their NC hopes on Friday, and now that they lost to Baylor, they're going to destroy us. This will not go well.
 
This one doesn't set up well for the Clones. I imagine we lose by 3 touchdowns or so. Hopefully everyone stays healthy and we can go get a 7th win in Manhattan.
 
If CPR pulls this one out, it would probably be the most impressive of his big wins. At least in my book.

Possibly.

I still think OSU would be more of the "game changer," but every "next step" should be bigger than the last, so it's definitely debatable.
 
If you look at results vs. common opponents, OU has a massive advantage — except for Texas Tech.

(The point differential of head-to-head vs. Mizzou was 61 points! Granted, OU was at home, ISU on the road).

It may seem like OU hasn't been the same since the TT loss, but the next game shredded KSU.

On the plus side, Iowa State has seemed much more competitive since Barnett was inserted during the A&M game.

ISU did exactly what it took to shock OSU, proving capable of winning when it isn't expected. OU blew the chance to re-establish its BCS credibility w/ the Baylor loss. Advantage: Push.

Averaging the common opponents, it's about a 23-point game on a neutral field.

OU 38, ISU 14
 
Ubben made his:

No. 9 Oklahoma 44, Iowa State 17: The Sooners beat Iowa State by 52 in Norman last year, but this one will be a little closer. Iowa State's defense has quietly been pretty big time the last few weeks, holding Texas Tech to seven points, Kansas to 10 and Oklahoma State to just 24 in regulation. No team had done that in 22 games. Oklahoma adds late points to win this one, but the Cyclones make it interesting.
