OSU Bullets

• 247 Sports ranks every top-25 team’s biggest weakness – for the Cowboys, that’s the defensive backfield (247 Sports) • A linebacking corp of Nick Martin, Kendal Daniels, and Colin Oliver is top-shelf stuff – the most athletic group at the position in a long while (X) • In a literal departure from reality (slow news days here folks), some college football bloggers simulated the Big 12 season, and here’s how OSU did:

Oklahoma State, who claims the second place spot in the standings by virtue of a 56-35 win over third-place Utah, put together a 10-2 campaign during the regular season with losses to Arkansas (L, 24-19) and Kansas State (L, 24-16). The Pokes and Wildcats will face off in the Big 12 Championship Game in this simulation… [HCS]

• Previewing one of OSU’s more exciting opponents – the Colorado Buffaloes (PFB) • Cowboys appear to have added another kicker to replace the departed one earlier this week:
