The Oklahoma Sooners play the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday in the 2013 Battle of Bedlam. Kickoff is at 12:00 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast via the link provided below.
The annual Bedlam series takes place in Stillwater and features the longtime rivals both nationally ranked in the top 20. Hosts Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1 Big 12), ranked No. 6, have strung together seven straight wins after incurring their only loss of the season on Sept. 28 against West Virginia.
The Cowboys' are coming off a 49-17 rout of Baylor. Quarterback Clint Chelf carried the offense, completing 19 of 25 passes for 370 yards and three touchdowns, and senior fullback Kye Staley added two touchdowns on the ground.
Oklahoma State has enjoyed a better season than their rivals, but the Bedlam series has traditionally been owned by the Sooners, who boast an 82-18-7 all time record in the series.
History being on the Sooners side, however, doesn't bring any reassurance to this year's 17th-ranked team.
"It's one of those things, it's one of the great rivalries in college football," Sooners senior center Gabe Ikard told the Associated Press. "We all know traditionally the numbers and how it's been lopsided, but they played better football than us this year, there's no doubt, and (they're) a team that should be undefeated. I don't think that's a stretch in reality at all.
"They should be undefeated, maybe in the top two or three, so we're just happy for the opportunity to go to Stillwater and be able to play a great game and a great atmosphere. But we don't see ourselves as an underdog in this game (either)."
Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2) has lost to only Texas and Baylor this season. The Sooners responded to their 41-12 loss to the Bears on Nov. 7 with two straight wins and can finish the regular season on a high note with a Bedlam series win.
