J.W. and Mason in the same backfield at the same time? J.W. and Mason in the same backfield at the same time. (NewsOK)

Here’s what that might look like. All the possibilities. (CRFF)

SportsCenter will be broadcast from Library Lawn on Saturday. (NewsOK)

Though Mike Gundy would love to see his team run the table, there are several scenarios in which the Cowboys could suffer a loss down the stretch and still win the Big 12. Unlike Oklahoma, they have a margin for error. (ESPN)

Ray Tay: “It’s good that I get support, but all in all, I’m just excited to play the game. I’m sure there’s some things being said. But at any time, any of the running backs can have a big game.” (NewsOK)

(Rudolph) is 10-1 as OSU’s starting quarterback. He is 12th nationally in passing yards per game at 310.3. In OSU football history, only one other QB — Brandon Weeden — averaged at least 300 passing yards per game. Weeden did it in 2010 and again in 2011. No other Cowboy quarterback averaged better than 242 yards. (Tulsa World)

Good stuff here from Glenn Spencer on Ogbah and Trevone Boykin: “I don’t have the answer on how to slow him down yet, and who knows if we’ll have it on Saturday? We’re going to do some things to hopefully slow him down a little bit, but guys like him have great games and we just have to make timely stops throughout the night and affect him.” (Go Pokes)

This is a good headline.

College football playoff

Here are the rankings. OSU is 14th. (PFB)

If OSU had the historical pedigree of an Alabama, Ohio State or an Oklahoma, this team would easily be in the top 10. And that’s OK. Those programs have earned the benefit of the doubt over the years. (Stillwater Newspress)

This is so stupid. The committee is basically saying “you have to win the way we want you to win.” (NewsOK)

Mark Cooper wrote a really good recap of the night here. (Tulsa World)

This weekend’s slate? LOADED. (CBS)

Around the country

So OU made a Bob Stoops statue, but they can’t reveal it yet. (CBS)

Pokes in the pros

I keep thinking the Dez headlines can’t keep getting funnier. They keep getting funnier. (Dallas Morning News)

Joe Randle was released by the Cowboys. (PFB)

The Cowboys had grown concerned over Randle’s mental stability over the last two weeks as he was away from the team dealing with several personal issues. (Dallas Morning News)

Pistols firing news

Don’t look now, but OSU’s offense has become borderline elite. (PFB)

Notes on Mike Gundy’s TCU press conference. (PFB)

Wait, is J.W. Walsh coming back for a 6th season? (PFB)

So … we cool with this Jhajuan Seales thing? (PFB)

Carson and I talk about the QB situation and that wild game in Lubbock. (PFB)

Vince Vaughn — huge OSU fan. (PFB)

Awesome shot of Vince Vaughn & Macy Matheson giving the Go Pokes. Extending an open invitation to @CowboyFB #okstate pic.twitter.com/Hsm7xYrM4Z
