STILLWATER - No. 6 Oklahoma State and No. 18 Oklahoma tangle at 11 a.m. CT Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium as part of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Bedlam Series. The game will be televised nationally on ABC. Some notes and numbers to know entering the game:
An Oklahoma State Win Would...
• Clinch its second Big 12 championship in the last three years.
• Make this year's senior class the winningest in school history with 42 wins over the last four years.
• Be its second over Oklahoma in the last three years. The Cowboys beat the Sooners, 44-10, in OU's most recent visit to Boone Pickens Stadium in 2011.
• Be its 10th straight home win, dating back to last season's loss to Texas. That would tie the school record for longest home winning streak, matching the mark set from Sept. 21, 2002-Oct. 18, 2003.
• Improve the Cowboys to 18-1 in their last 19 games in Boone Pickens Stadium, dating back to the start of the 2011 season.
• Improve the Cowboys to 10-3 in their last 13 games against ranked opponents.
• Cap a 6-0 season at home, marking the 12th perfect home season in school history and the second of the Mike Gundy era (2011).
• Be its 51st in the last five seasons.
• Be its eighth straight Big 12 win, marking only the second time in school history that OSU has won eight straight conference games. The Cowboys won 10 straight Missouri Valley Conference games from 1929-34.
• Improve the Cowboys to 11-1 on the year, marking the third time in the last four seasons that OSU has hit the 11-win mark. Prior to Mike Gundy taking over as head coach in 2005, Oklahoma State had no 11-win seasons and only three 10-win seasons in 102 seasons of football - 1984, 1987 and 1988. Gundy was the starting quarterback on the 1987 and 1988 squads.
• Be its eighth conference win of the year, matching the school record set in 2011.

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 33 games and in 49 of its last 50 contests.
