Jeremy Cluff writes: "Oklahoma State has won four straight since
its season-opening debacle against Tulsa. The upset over Oregon has lost some of its luster for the Cowboys, but Drew Mestemaker and company can spring another upset over the Cougars in Houston to move to 3-0 in Big 12 play."

Bill Speros writes: "A loss here ends Houston's hopes for a Big 12 title game berth and CFB Playoff spot. The Pokes rank among the biggest surprises on the upside in college football this season thanks to a win over Oregon. This is the first of two major Big 12 challenges for Oklahoma State. It plays Texas Tech next month. OSU has won four straight and sits 4-1 ATS. Our model sits on this line, favoring Houston by 4.3 points. Houston's balanced offense (4 TD passes; 233 yards rushing, led by Re'Shaun Sanford's 90, at K-State) overwhelms OSU here, despite the Cougars owning the weakest 'home field advantage' in all of sports."
