The Oklahoma State Cowboys (8-2, 5-1) moved up to the number 12 spot in the latest BCS standings released earlier today. They were previously ranked 19th. That's a pretty good jump. Luckily for us there were a lot of ranked teams with loses this past Saturday to help us move up like we did.We also moved up to 12th place in the AP Top 25 poll and 13th place in the Coaches poll.
The Cowboys don't have long to savor that tough win that they were able to get over the Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-4, 3-3) as they have to turn around quickly and prepare for the Colorado Buffaloes (3-7, 2-4) on Thursday night, the 19th.
The big question this week is, will Zack Robinson be able to play against Colorado? Zack took a huge hit near the end of the game when he was trying to take the ball into the endzone and collided with a Tech defensive back. Both players remained on the ground for some time before the finally got up. Zack looked like he took the worse of the hit as he needed a little help to reach the locker room.
Coach Mike Gundy has said that he anticipates that Zack will play on Thursday, so I assume that he didn't get a concussion. From the way he looked while walking off the field that is what I thought he had. But hopefully that's not the case and he will be fine.
The Cowboys are going to need Zack around if we want to finish the season out with wins. They could possibly get past the lowly Buffaloes without him, but they definitely need him if they hope to defeat the Sooners in Norman at the end of the month.
Let's see if the Cowboys can improve upon what they were able to do Saturday night against the Red Raiders and if the defense will be able to continue playing at the high level they have been playing at lately.
