Oklahoma State is the higher-ranked team on Saturday, but at home for the 101st edition of homecoming, the 11th-ranked Cowboys are underdogs by a not-insignificant amount to Texas.
But OSU under Mike Gundy has fared well vs. Texas, often as a dog. And since Gundy took over in 2005, OSU has won nine of its 23 games when playing at home as an underdog. So this is familiar territory for the Cowboys and a spot that, after a loss to TCU last week that probably left a sour taste in their mouth, they could use to launch back into the Big 12 title discussion.
