Finishing the season at No. 3 and No. 4 in the BCS standings, the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Stanford Cardinal both felt that they had made a case to earn a trip to the BCS National Championship, but instead they’ll play against each other in this year’s highly anticipated Fiesta Bowl.

Stanford went a perfect 9-0 SU and ATS before losing 53-30 to Oregon in November, losing a chance to play in the Pac-12 Championship in the process, and then finished 2-0 SU (1-1 ATS). Oklahoma State was 10-0 SU (7-3 ATS) before losing outright in a complete stunner to Iowa State in overtime as a 27-point favorite.

Oklahoma State bounced back in their next game against Oklahoma with a 44-10 win, but it wasn’t enough to earn them a trip to the Championship Game. Both teams finished in the top five in the nation in total scoring offense. [ Andrew Luck prop bets in the Fiesta Bowl, visit for the most creative and fun props ]

This is the 12th straight bowl appearance for Oklahoma and you can bet there will be plenty of interest in college football betting circles when they face a Connecticut team that is not nearly as deep or as rich in tradition.

Oklahoma ranks fourth among FBS teams in passing with 336.8 yards per game, and collects nearly 480 yards per game, which is good enough for 13th in total offense. The Sooners also put up an average of 36.4 points per game and that could be what tips the Fiestra Bowl odds in favor of an Oklahoma win and cover.

The Sooners are strong at the pivotal quarterback position with Landry Jones throwing for 4,289 yards with 35 touchdowns, and receiver Ryan Broyles had his second-consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. He finishes his career as the school leader in receptions and touchdowns.

If the Connecticut Huskies are to pull off this historical upset, it will need 1,000-yard rusher Jordan Todman to have the game of his life and for the defense to shut down all the holes.

Todman ran for 1,574 yards and 14 touchdowns, which earned him the Big East offensive player of the year award. Quarterback Zach Frazer only topped 200 yards once this season and completed just over fifty-percent of his passes with only five TDs.

Frazer will need to manage the clock on offense, and the running game must be the center of their gameplan if they expect to have any chance at upsetting Oklahoma in the game of their lives.
