Conclusion

The Texas Bowl is played in Houston, which is more like a home game for the Aggies. And they will definitely be looking to make a statement here. They had one of the toughest schedules in the nation and for their troubles got five losses out of it.

But I tell ya, I think the advantage is Oklahoma State getting points here. I think that the 25th ranked Cowboys getting a TD in this game is a gift and I am taking the Cowboys myself.
