Washington Post - Oklahoma State Hosts K-State

STILLWATER, Okla. — From a pack of four top 20 teams that were unbeaten a month ago, No. 3 Oklahoma State is left as the Big 12’s best hope at winning a national championship.

The Cowboys are 8-0 for only the fourth time in school history and can reach 9-0 for the second time in the program’s 110-year history with a win Saturday night against No. 17 Kansas State (7-1, 4-1 Big 12).

Even more important, at third in the BCS standings, Oklahoma State (8-0, 5-0) controls its own path to the national title game, needing four more wins to get there.

“It’s fun to be a part of it,” quarterback Brandon Weeden said. “I can’t really say that I expected it, but we always hoped in the back of our minds.”
