Yahoo - Oklahoma St finally feeling equal to Sooners (The Associated Press)

[Jenni Carlson]

For long stretches, it was more of a mismatch than a heated rivalry when perennial powerhouse Oklahoma faced its cross-state foes at Oklahoma State. Heading into the Saturday's annual Bedlam game at Boone Pickens Stadium, it is No. 6 Oklahoma State with the opportunity to claim its second Big 12 championship in the last three years while No. 18 Oklahoma has been relegated to the role of spoiler. Even though Oklahoma owns a decisive 82-18-7 lead in the all-time series, including victories in nine of the last 10 meetings, the Cowboys are on the verge of establishing themselves as respected equals to their more celebrated foes. In addition to the conference title, a win would give Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) a total of 42 wins, and 27 in the Big 12, over the last four seasons, while holding Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2) at 41 and 26.
