Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

Three Thoughts

• Love getting this content still from Berry and Jenni – 30 mins of video making predictions about the Bedlam schools (YouTube)

• According to ESPN’s FPI Analytics, the Pokes have the fourth-best odds in the Big 12 to make the CFP – not where I would guess the first season after OU/Texas left.

OSU has a 12.6% chance at earning a berth into the CFP, according to ESPN’s FPI. The chance of the Pokes making a run and winning it all is 0.4%. But, hey, that’s still a chance.
