OSU Football: Bedlam Game Lands Afternoon Slot on FS1

The Bedlam rivalry on Nov. 4 in Stillwater will kick at 3:00 p.m. and air on FS1, the league announced Monday. It’s the second of two afternoon games in the Big 12 that day — the other being a 2:30 kick between Iowa State and West Virginia.

Kansas-Baylor and Texas Tech-K-State will kick at 11:00 am, while Texas-TCU represents the only primetime game in the league. That game will kick at 6:15 and air on ESPN.

With the news that Bedlam somehow avoided a primetime slot and landed on FS1 (Gus Johnson game, anyone?), it’s likely that College Gameday will now be headed East … potentially to Bama-LSU, which would continue a near two-year long Gameday drought.

The last time College Gameday came to Stillwater was Bedlam 2015, where it was a non-competitive blowout in favor of OU over a Rudolph-less OSU team.

Last time Oklahoma State played Oklahoma in a 2:30 kick was 2014, where the Cowboys toppled the Sooners in overtime and Tyreek Hill saved the season. You’d have to go all the way back to 2006 to find the last time these two two played in an afternoon game in Stillwater. OSU fell in that game 27-21.
