An Oklahoma State Win Would...

• Improve the Cowboys to 8-0, marking just the third time in school history that the Cowboys were undefeated after eight games. The previous occasions came as part of the two most successful seasons in school history - 1945 and 2011. The 1945 squad finished 9-0 and won the Sugar Bowl and the 2011 squad finished 12-1, won the Big 12 championship and missed out on a spot in the BCS national championship game by just 0.0086 of a point in the BCS computer system. The Cowboys of 2011 went on to beat Andrew Luck and No. 4 Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl.
• Be the Cowboys' 10th consecutive win, dating back to last season, marking OSU's longest win streak since the Pokes rattled off 11 straight wins from Dec. 29, 2010 to Nov. 18, 2011. Ten straight wins would stand as the third-longest winning streak in school history. The Pokes won 13 straight from 1944-46 and 11 straight from 2010-11.
• Bring the Cowboys to 4-0 on the road this season and mark OSU's fifth straight road victory dating back to 2014. Five straight road wins would stand alone as the third-longest road win streak in school history. The Cowboys won 11 straight on the road from 1943-45 and won 10 straight on the road from 2010-11.
• Be the Cowboys' seventh straight over Texas Tech.
• Improve the Cowboys to 25-6 in their last 31 games played against teams from the state of Texas, dating back to 2009.
• Improve the Cowboys to 45-5 in their last 50 games against unranked opponents, dating back to 2010.
