STILLWATER - No. 10 Oklahoma State and No. 4 Baylor battle Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium. An inside-the-numbers look at the game:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
• Improve the Cowboys to 9-3 in their last 12 games against ranked opponents.
• Be its fourth over a team ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll under coach Mike Gundy. The Cowboys beat No. 3 Missouri in Columbia in 2008, beat No. 8 Texas A&M in College Station in 2011 and beat No. 4 Stanford in the 2012 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
• Be its ninth straight home win, dating back to last season's loss to Texas. That would match the second-longest home winning streak in school history.
• Improve the Cowboys to 17-1 in their last 18 games in Boone Pickens Stadium, dating back to the start of the 2011 season.
• Be the Cowboys' seventh in their last eight meetings with Baylor and improve OSU to 16-2 in its last 18 contests against the Bears.
• Be the Cowboys' 11th consecutive home win over Baylor, dating back to 1972. Baylor's last win in Stillwater came in 1939.
• Be the Cowboys' 41st win in the last four seasons and their 50th in the last five seasons.
• Be the Cowboys' seventh straight Big 12 win, marking only the second time in school history that OSU has won seven straight conference games. The Cowboys won 10 straight Missouri Valley Conference games from 1929-34 and seven straight Big 12 games in 2011.
• Improve the Cowboys to 10-1 on the year, marking the third time in the last four seasons that OSU has hit the 10-win mark. Prior to Mike Gundy taking over as head coach in 2005, Oklahoma State had three 10-win seasons in 102 seasons of football - 1984, 1987 and 1988. Gundy was the starting quarterback on the 1987 and 1988 squads.
• Give the Cowboys their seventh conference win of the year, marking only the second time in school history that OSU has won seven conference games in a season. The Cowboys won eight Big 12 games in 2011.
Notable Streaks Entering the Baylor Game
• Oklahoma State has scored 20 or more points in 49 consecutive games dating back to the start of the 2010 season. That streak is the longest active streak in the country and the second-longest since Division I split into the FBS/FCS in 1978, trailing only USC's 63 straight games of 20 or more points from Sept. 2, 2002 through Nov. 25, 2006.
• OSU has at least one touchdown drive of faster than two minutes in each of its last 32 games and in 48 of its last 49 contests.
• Dating back to 2005, the Cowboys have won 18 consecutive games when not committing a turnover.
• The Cowboys have forced at least one turnover in 18 straight games.
• OSU has either won or tied the turnover battle in 18 of its last 21 games.
• Dating back to the 2008 season, the Cowboys have won 33 of their last 34 games when winning the turnover battle.
• Linebacker Shaun Lewis has started 42 straight games. Linebacker Caleb Lavey and safety Daytawion Lowe have each started 36 straight games, respectively.
