TEEMCO Bedlam Series
Oklahoma State and Oklahoma compete yearly in the TEEMCO Bedlam Series, an all-sports competition between the two schools, which are separated by only 80 miles along Interstate 35. The TEEMCO Bedlam Series champion is decided by wins and losses in head to head competition. In sports where there is no head to head matchup, the Big 12 Championship final standings are used. Oklahoma State won last year's TEEMCO Bedlam Series, 17-14. Including Saturday's game, the Cowboys hold a 5-2 lead in this year's TEEMCO Bedlam Series, with wins in soccer, football, men's cross country, women's cross country and wrestling.
