The Cowboys are in a great position leading up to the Big 12 Championship. A win on Saturday against Baylor would crown Oklahoma State as Big 12 Champion for the first time since 2011. The next morning, the Cowboys would anxiously wait to see if they made the College Football Playoff.

Players said they most definitely aren't looking ahead. Brock Martin has his own reasons.

"I tell them all the time I'm tired of hearing about the 2011 team... what's really at stake this week is a Big 12 championship," said Martin.
