Daily Bullets (Aug. 13): Pokes Ranked by the AP, Fun Prediction for a Season Ending

A very happy birthday to the Bullet twins Sadie and Sutton who turn seven today – nobody could tell me how much more full and joyful parenting you sweet rascals would be. 

OSU Bullets

• Cowboys are ranked again in the preseason AP poll (PFB)

• Stop by and take OKC Dave’s OSU fan survey (PFB)

• Berry Tramel predicts what would be an incredible ending to the Cowboys’ regular season: 

Needing a victory to finish 8-1 in the conference and secure a berth in Arlington, OSU routs Colorado on Thanksgiving Friday in Boulder. Gordon rushes for 223 yards in Deion’s final game in the Flatirons.

• OSU lost out to Boise State yesterday for a quarterback in the 2026 class – GoPokes 247 is predicting this Texas quarterback will commit for 2026 (247 Sports)

• OSU’s season-opening opponent was named the No. 1 team in the FCS (PFB)

• Happy late birthday to head ball coach Mike Gundy: 

Happy Birthday to Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy, who turns 57 today. Gundy is Big 12’s 4th oldest head coach & 30th oldest overall in FBS

Non-OSU Bullets

• This man traveled by bus (no Greyhounds) from Vancouver to Tiajuana for $200

• Words for the fatherless (faith-based)

Thought this take on Clemson/FSU was interesting to see affirmed – he goes into more detail on the complexity of the Big Ten adding teams from red states too:

I haven’t had the chance to talk to a Big Ten or SEC president about this, but the sources quoted in McMurphy’s story share talking points that broadly line up with what I’ve heard from ADs, television people, and industry consultants. Essentially, the TV money doesn’t increase enough for the B1G or SEC to make the addition work, and there are concerns about how “disruptive a partner” Florida State might be for either league.
