Oklahoma State Cowboys are the No. 12 ranked team in the nation. They play Central Michigan Chippewas on Thursday at 7:00 pm EST. The game is a rematch of their controversial contest from 2016. Central Chipperws' offense is weak, but their defense is one of the better in Mid-American Conference. Their defense was 2-1 ATS against Power 5 opponents last season. Oklahoma State's offense needs to improve. They won their first two games against Missouri State and Tulsa by a combined 12 points. Derek Mason's defensive coordinator Jim Knowles left to take the same job at Ohio State.
