OSU Bullets

• The Pokes debuted just outside of the top-ten in the initial College Football Playoff rankings

• What a reality – 100 percent of the time, OSU has held their conference opponent below their lowest conference total. For West Virginia, that number would be 13!

• OSU landed a commitment from a 6’8″, 330 pound offensive tackle – no known relation to Zeus or the biblical Goliath on record

• Everything is peaking for the Pokes as they role into November

In case you haven’t seen – the Pokes are in second in the Big 12 standings:

• Mike Gundy is moving up the ranks in the most tenured coaches in college football:

With (Gary) Patterson out at TCU, Gundy is now the nation’s third-longest tenured coach behind Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz and Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, and holds singular seniority in the Big 12 by some margin.

• HCS ranks the Pokes as the best team in the Big 12 – they also have Spencer Sanders as the No. 2 QB in the league

• The ESPN crew to cover the OSU-West Virginia game on Saturday was announced

Non-OSU Bullets

• Recently finished Malcolm Gladwell’s new WWII read looking at the evolution of air warfare – but more specifically the moral ambiguity of it – shorter read to save for when football season is over

• The economics of pumpkin patches

• Time is short – be patient (faith-based)
