November 18th, 2011 by Jim Field

     AMES, Iowa (AP) – It is easy to look ahead to Dec. 3 and envision second-ranked Oklahoma State hosting rival Oklahoma with a spot in the BCS championship game on the line.  To get to the Bedlam game unbeaten, Oklahoma State must first beat Iowa State. The Cowboys (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) will face the Cyclones (5-4, 2-4) on Friday night in their final road game.  Iowa State has won two straight and is coming off a bye. Coach Paul Rhoads says the Cyclones will need some help to upset the high-scoring Cowboys.
