The Cougars were outscored 14-7 in the second quarter — Oklahoma State used two long drives to score touchdowns, while BYU cashed in once but had a Will Ferrin 51-yard field goal attempt that missed wide right as the half expired.

Forty years ago, BYU became the last "mid-major" to win it all. That team still resonates but says a lot about where the sport is now with an expanded playoff.

Kickoff from LaVell Edwards Stadium is set for 10:15 p.m. ET. The Cougars are favored by 9.5 points in the latest Oklahoma State vs. BYU odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 52.5.
