This is the 27th meeting between Baylor and Oklahoma State. The Cowboys lead the all-time series 14-12 after Oklahoma State’s 45-14 victory last season in Waco. Baylor is 5-8 against Oklahoma State in games played at Stillwater, but the Bears have not won at OSU since 1939 (13-0) and have lost six straight — all coming since the inception of the Big 12 Conference.
The Bears and Cowboys first met Oct. 25, 1914, with OSU blanking Baylor 60-0. The Bears won the next nine meetings before a 20-7 Cowboy victory in 1972. In 1974, an 0-2 Baylor team knocked off 12th-ranked Oklahoma State at Floyd Casey Stadium. That win started an 8-1 stretch to close the regular season for the Bears in a season that culminated with a Southwest Conference championship.
The NCAA ranks the Bears’ schedule as the nation’s eighth-toughest. Baylor’s Division I FBS opponents currently have a 44-20 combined record against Division I FBS opponents.
All three Baylor losses this season have come against teams ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Coaches’ Poll at some point this season, including two on the day of the game and two currently.
Baylor currently is in a six-game stretch with four games against teams ranked No. 12 nationally or higher with three games against teams ranked in the top 10.
Baylor ranks 18th nationally and second in the Big 12 in rushing (206.2 ypg)
The Bear's freshman QB Robert Griffin ranks 14th nationally in passing efficiency (157.70), and he is 29th nationally in total offense (255.0 ypg).
Griffin ranks seventh nationally in rushing yards per game among quarterbacks, ninth among freshmen, third among true freshmen and first among freshmen quarterbacks.
