OSU No. 2 in BCS for First Time in School History

#2 Oklahoma State continues to make major strides under head coach Mike Gundy and Sunday marked another first. The Cowboys, who improved to a school record 9-0 Saturday with a win over Kansas State, are No. 2 nationally in the BCS standings for the first time in school history. The Pokes also jumped to No. 2 in the Associated Press poll released earlier Sunday.

OSU seems in control of its own destiny with three weeks remaining in the regular-season. The Cowboys have back-to-back road games at Texas Tech and Iowa State before returning home to host in-state rival Oklahoma on Dec. 3. Here are headlines from around the country Sunday evening after the BCS announcement.
