Daily Bullets (Nov. 2): Pokes Make the First CFP Ranking, Another Mid-Season Retirement

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

OSU Bullets

Women’s Basketball: Cowgirls 91, NSU 41

OSU Bullets

• Pokes are ranked in the top-20 of the initial CFP ranking

• Cowboy Punter Tom Hutton has retired from football midseason

• Here’s a rough outline of what OSU needs to do to get back to Arlington:

First things first, OSU will need to win out. That much is simple. With two losses in conference play, the Pokes are in a three-way tie for third place with Texas and Baylor, two teams they’ve already beaten this year. The second thing that needs to happen is for K-State to drop at least one, if not two more games. A loss to Texas this week would force K-State into a four-way tie for second place, that is if Baylor and Oklahoma State win this week as well.

• The Tulsa World still has the Pokes as the third-best team in the Big 12 – Berry Tramel has the Pokes at No. 3 as well, if for no reason other than they’ve beaten all the teams below them

• Betonline.ag has Mike Gundy as the ninth-best odds to become the next head coach at Auburn – 5,000 to 1 odds would be a terrible bet

• Can you imagine the pressure on Gunnar Gundy if he plays on Saturday?

Non-OSU Bullets

• Chick-fil-a in Florida has full-time employees working three-days-a-week
• Pretty good read here on the Upper Room Discourse – a little slow but great insights (faith-based)
