Big stop by BYU, see if momentum shifts. If they score here the gloves will be off in the crowd.

Okie light wins, better for us?

Depends on the scenario:

If you think its likely the big 12 only gets one no matter what, you just want to increase the chances ISU is in the championship game. So you want top teams to lose so we have a better chance of being in and then just have to go win that game. So you'd want OSU to win.

If you think there's a chance for the loser of that game to get in, you want BYU to go undefeated so if we were to make the championship game at 12-0 and lose, our argument of "we only lost to a 13-0 BYU" would be strong.

Alternately, if we don't make it, we want BYU to go 12-0 so if they lose they still have a chance of getting a playoff berth as a 12-1 team.

Exactly this. Also, I'm not afraid of any team right now, so I want top teams to win. Let's get two in the playoff and win games to change the narrative.

Problem for OSU is they're defense needs to be able to stop BYU for them to get the lead. That's not looking promising in the second half. Maybe they can get another turnover.

We are way better than both these teams. I like ok state, but it's best if we meet byu in the big 12 champ game both at 12-0. Now I don't think either of us will run the table so it's prob a pipe dream.
