As for Tulane, this program has made great strides in becoming a worthy opponent against the best teams and an upset is possible.\u00a0 Sooners pull it out in the end.\u00a0 OU 20 and Tulane 16.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #4667c2;\"><strong>Oklahoma State goes to Tulsa and expect the Pokes to riddle the hosts 48 to 24.\u00a0 Look for Ollie Gordon to have a career game.\u00a0 Tulsa will get their points but do not expect the Cowboys to be pressured by the 4th quarter.\u00a0 There will be more OSU fans at the game than Tulsa fans, so any home field advantage is moot.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #4667c2;\"><strong>Fredsportsextra&#8217;s Top
