If College Football Had A Playoff: No. 3 Oklahoma State Vs. No. 7 Boise State

This game would be just amazing. The over/under would probably set at 80 and that would be conservative. The main difference between these two teams is that the Oklahoma State defense is not very good and ranked 107th in total defense.

However, Oklahoma State makes up for that with a plus 20 turnover margin and getting to the quarterback just over three times a game.

Boise State	Oklahoma State
43.3 PPG	49.3 PPG
483.1 Total YPG	557 Total YPG
172.75 Rushing YPG	170.75 Rushing YPG
310.30 Passing YPG	386.3 Passing YPG
18.3 Points allowed per game	26.2 Points allowed per game
315.6 Yards allowed per game	445.7 Yards allowed per game
110.0 Rushing yards allowed per game	180.08 Rushing yards allowed per game
210.8 Passing yards allowed per game	265.6 Passing yards allowed per game
+9 Turnover margin	+20 turnover margin
1.67 Sacks per game	3.08 Sacks per game

What a matchup this would be and I know this sounds like being an MWC homer, but I think Boise State's defense would be the difference in this game. My final score prediction would be Boise State 48 Oklahoma State 44

Boise State’s defense is fine, but their secondary got torched by the Frogs. I’d have to predict a similar fate befalling them when dealing with the frighteningly talented Justin Blackmon and company. Okie State would win the shootout.
