Death, taxes and Bedlam having major Big 12 implications.
The rivalry between Oklahoma State and Oklahoma is one of the nation's longest, but also one of the nation's most lopsided. The Sooners have won all but twice since 2003, including six in a row since 2015 and lead the all-time series 90-18-7 dating back to 1904.
But this year's matchup of the famed game has extra importance for both teams. The Cowboys, led by Mike Gundy and currently ranked No. 9, already punched their ticket to the conference title game, their first since 2011 when they finished the season ranked No. 3 in the country.
If the No. 13 ranked Sooners win Bedlam, as has become commonplace over the recent years, then they'll face off against the Cowboys for a rematch in the Big 12 title game. But if Oklahoma loses, then things get more interesting. The easiest scenario would be for Texas Tech to upset Baylor, which would punch OU's ticket as Oklahoma would have two conference losses to Baylor's three. If the Bears win, however, they're in as they own the head-to-head.
