Why Oklahoma State can cover
The Cowboys have one of the most dynamic players in the nation in running back Ollie Gordon II. With a more manageable Big 12 schedule this year, OK State is hoping to make a run at the expanded playoff field.
The Cowboys were ranked No. 17 in the AP Top 25 before their season-opening win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits, the defending FCS national champions. Gordon carried the ball 28 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns in the victory and also caught three passes for 20 yards. Oklahoma State has won its last nine games when Gordon tops 100 yards.

Why Arkansas can cover
This is a make-or-break year for Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman. The Razorbacks had no problems handling a FCS foe in Week 1, and transfer quarterback Taylen Green had two rushing and two passing touchdowns. The team piled up 687 yards of total offense while limiting Arkansas-Pine Bluff to 130 yards.
The Razorbacks went just 4-8 in 2023 but were extremely competitive on the road throughout the season. They beat Florida 39-36 in the Swamp and lost by a combined 13 points against Alabama, Ole Miss and LSU, who all finished the season ranked top-12 in the AP Top 25. See which team to pick here.
