Oklahoma State football vs Baylor score predictions for Week 9: Can Cowboys end skid?

WACO, Texas — Once upon a time in the not-so-distant past, Oklahoma State and Baylor looked primed to run the new Big 12 whenever it arrived.

That was December 2021, just a few months after Oklahoma and Texas had announced their intentions to leave for the Southeastern Conference.

This year, the heavy hitters are gone, but OSU and Baylor are miles from the top of the Big 12 standings.

The Cowboys remain the only winless team in league play. Baylor is among a collection of six teams with just one Big 12 victory.

OSU faces Baylor at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at McLane Stadium, broadcast by ESPN+. Big 12 title hopes are all but dead for both teams this year, but there’s still plenty left to play for.
