Three Reasons Why You Should Watch The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

It’s only the second meeting ever between the two college football powerhouses, with the first a 24-14 Tim Tebow/Urban Meyer-led Gator victory over Sam Bradford’s Sooners for the 2008 national championship. This isn’t that, but the two offenses should put on a show in what could and should be among the highest-scoring firefights of the bowl season … maybe. Oklahoma and Florida each average 42 points per game, but …

Florida star QB Kyle Trask is missing his phenomenal targets. TE Kyle Trask and receivers Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes are all skipping this to preserve the investment for the NFL.

Trask is still great, the Gators have plenty of strong young receivers who should step up, and head coach Dan Mullen knows how to win bowl games. He has won two in a row for Florida, four straight going back to his Mississippi State days and he’s 7-2 overall. Florida is 10-3 in bowls going back to 2004.

Oklahoma lost late to Kansas State and Iowa State early in the season, matured and improved as the season went on, got a few key parts back in RB Rhamondre Stevenson and DE Ronnie Perkins in the middle of the campaign, and went on a seven-game winning run on the way to the Big 12 title.

QB Spencer Rattler got better and the offensive kept on improving as the team ended up sixth in the final CFP rankings. The program has lost its last three bowl games – all in the College Football Playoff; head coach Lincoln Riley has never won a bowl game – and five of the last six.

Three Reasons Why You Should Watch The Big 12 Championship

Is there any shot the Big 12 Champion can get into the College Football Playoff? Not really, but …

If Texas A&M loses to Tennessee, and Notre Dame rocks Clemson, and Northwestern beats Ohio State, and the winner in this Big 12 Championship destroys the loser, and …

Nah. Don’t get all tied up in that – no matter what the narrative is during the broadcast – and just enjoy what should be another great game between the two.

Iowa State won the first time around 37-30 with a good late rally that was almost dead even. Iowa State outgained OU 417 yards to 414. They each committed nine penalties, turned it over once, and it ended up being one of the best games of the Big 12 season.

Here comes Round 2.

– Iowa State won a piece of two Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association championships … in 1911 and 1912. The program has never won a Big 6 title, it never won a Big 7 title, and it never won a Big 8 or Big 12 championship, either.

Iowa State football started in the 1890s and first joined a league in 1908, and now it has a chance to win its first ever outright, all-to-itself, no-splitsies conference championship and go off to – most likely – the Cotton Bowl. For a team that started off the year with a 31-14 loss Louisiana and was 3-2, the Cyclones are one win away from the dream season.

On the flip side …

– Remembering there’s a six-year break in there, since 2000, Oklahoma has won ten of the last 14 Big 12 Championship Games including the last four and five of the last six. Throw in the non-title game years, and IU has won five Big 12 titles in a row.

Out of the four it lost, two were won by 2005 and 2009 Texas teams that played for the national title, one was won by a 2001 Colorado team that kept Texas out of the national championship, and the other was a stunning 35-7 Kansas State win over a 2003 Sooner team that went to play for the national championship anyway.

Win this again and just throw it on the pile.

Why Baylor Will Win

The Bears keep forcing takeaways.

The passing game kicked in last week against Kansas State – and hasn’t been all that bad – and the ground game finally worked a few weeks ago in a loss to Texas Tech, but to have any shot against the Sooners, creating turnovers is a must.

The Bears have yet to lose the turnover margin and they’ve forced eight turnovers over the last three games.

Oklahoma doesn’t have a turnover issue, but when it starts screwing up, it does it big-time with nine of the 11 coming in three games.

The Sooners get penalized too much, the offensive line allows too many plays in the backfield, and …

Week 14 College Schedule

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The Sooner offense is rolling.

The two losses to Kansas State and Iowa State – collapsing in both games – are a killer now that the team is playing like it’s supposed to.

The passing game is sharper, the explosion is there, and the team is starting to dominate the mediocre league, hanging up 41 points or more in four of the last five games with a steady balance and enough big plays from the passing game to put games away fast.

Baylor’s offensive line hasn’t been great, the running game isn’t anything impressive, and there aren’t enough third down conversions to slow things down when the Sooner offense gets going.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

It’s amazing how things have changed in a year.

Baylor had Oklahoma dead, right up until Jalen Hurts came up with one of the most impressive comebacks in Big 12 history.

The Bears almost pulled out the Big 12 Championship to be off to the College Football Playoff, but came up short.

Now Baylor is just hoping for another win.

Oklahoma, though, it playing a peak efficiency. The running game is strong, Spencer Rattler is growing into the gig, and the receivers are getting stronger and stronger.

Baylor can’t keep up.

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

The defense continues to get the job done.

You always have to grade Big 12 defenses on a bit of a curve, but the Cowboys are doing their part, especially against everyone’s passing game. There was a problem against West Virginia early in the season, but no one else has hit the 200-yard mark through the air against the Cowboy secondary.

The Cowboys are dominant defensively on third downs, the pass defense has only allowed more than one touchdown pass once, and even in the one game that the D allowed a ton of points – the 41 against Texas came in a variety of ways – it allowed fewer than 300 total yards.

Why Oklahoma Will Win

The offense has found its groove.

It helps to play Texas Tech and Kansas over the last few weeks, but the team with the young starting quarterback needed the tune-ups.

Spencer Rattler might not be running like Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts, and he’s still not close to being accurate enough, but he’s hitting on enough key plays now that he was missing earlier, and the running game is helping out with 200 yards or more in three of the last four games.

The O is the best in the Big 12 on third downs, the team owns the clock, and crazily enough for a program that was such a defensive nightmare not all that long ago, the run D has been dominant.

What’s Going To Happen

Which team wants to step up and be in the Big 12 Championship?

A loss for Oklahoma would be a knockout blow – for all intents and purposes – while an OSU defeat would be a massive issue with a loss to Texas a few weeks ago.

Oklahoma State’s defense is going to be a problem for Rattler.

He has been better, and he has the look of a future superstar, but he hasn’t been consistent enough. The OU offense has the pop and explosion to go on a run, but the Cowboys will make just enough good plays on third downs to keep things moving and make the Sooners press.

OSU will come up with the right offensive mix to go along with a strong defensive performance to pull off the first win in the Bedlam series since 2014.

Why Kansas Will Win

The question keeps being asked each week – what’s going right?

The secondary hasn’t been awful, but that’s mostly because everyone runs at will. There’s decent pressure into the backfield – even if there’s no pass rush – and freshman QB Jalon Daniels is playing just well enough to look like a player to work around for the next few years.

What’s going wrong for Oklahoma? It’s possible to put up passing yards on the Sooner secondary that will give up the occasional big play. But …

Why Oklahoma Will Win

This Kansas thing is a mess.

The offense isn’t able to keep up at all, the defense is giving up yards in bunches however any offense wants to try getting them, and the line play has been awful.

The Oklahoma offense continues to improve as Spencer Rattler settles in. He’s still not consistent enough, and he’s still missing a few too many throws, but the passing game has clicked, the ground attack is coming off of its best performance of the season in the win over Texas Tech, and there’s nothing Kansas has defensively to stop what’s coming.

What’s Going To Happen

How much does Oklahoma want to win this by?

The world is way overdue for a Kansas out-of-the-blue performances that throws a scare into someone it shouldn’t, but the team hasn’t been remotely close to putting together a good enough half to do that much less a full game.

OU will take this out early, get up fast, and cruise in the second half as the bench empties out.
