Oklahoma State gained its 33rd bowl as a program. And OSU has reached a bowl game every year since 2006. Of great concern is that the Cowboys finished the season with a string of tough losses. Including against Oklahoma and West Virginia. Oklahoma State is 21-11 in College Football betting bowl games. Meanwhile, Wisconsin finished 6-6 and under .500 in conference play. But UW will play in a bowl game for the 34th appearance in school history. New head coach Luke Fickell is expected to bring much of his coaching staff from Cincinnati to Madison.
