Former rivals, Oklahoma State jumped the Oklahoma Sooners in the recent AP Poll.
Bedlam might be playing on the gridiron, for now, but the two sides will never stop being compared. Oklahoma State remains in the Big 12 -- the conference the Oklahoma Sooners used to dominate -- and they're now staring at an opportunity to take over atop the league.
Both programs were ranked in the late teens in the inaugural AP poll, remaining that way through the first week of play. While the Cowboys might not have impressed much in Week 2, they defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 39-31 in two overtimes. Evidently, a comparison between the two squads doesn't mean all that much. They won't be playing this season and they no longer share a conference. This history-rich rivalry will always be remembered, though, and it's hard to imagine the series doesn't return one day. The two fan bases and programs still don't like each other, and that's why comparisons will continue to fly.
