The thoughts lingered with Mason Rudolph for a while after Sept. 10.You play the what-if game in your head, said Rudolph, the Oklahoma State quarterback whose fourth-down throwaway as time expired in Week 2 should have secured a 27-24 win for the Cowboys over Central Michigan.What if the Mid-American Conference officials, after flagging Rudolph for intentional grounding, had correctly ended the game instead of awarding an untimed down to CMU? What if Rudolph had killed the clock without throwing the ball?What if the Big 12 replay crew -- later suspended for the mistake, alongside the MAC officials -- had taken action before Cooper Rush stepped up in the pocket and heaved a pass 41 yards to Jesse Kroll, who pitched to Corey Willis for the final 10 yards of an unthinkable, game-winning score?And what if all else remained intact -- an uncertainty, to be sure -- after an Oklahoma State victory over the Chippewas, leading to Saturday, when the No. 10 OSU (9-2, 7-1 Big 12) visits ninth-ranked Oklahoma (9-2, 8-0) for the league title and an ever-dwindling shot at the College Football Playoff?You know, thats life, Rudolph said, and youve got to move on. We moved and put it behind us.But have they?Coach Mike Gundy, in nearly the same breath as saying this week that hes not paid any attention to the potential playoff ramifications of the early-season game, mentioned that multiple NFL teams had recently won in the way OSU attempted against Central Michigan.I told the team that I consider that a win -- and I always will, Gundy said Monday. But it was a great life lesson for them. They handled it the right way, and theyve done very well since.After the Cowboys stomped TCU for a seventh consecutive victory, Gundy said he believed that Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, chair of CFP selection committee, was playing poker and that Hocutt views Oklahoma State as a 10-win team.Hocutt has indicated otherwise.I thought we put a committee together to eliminate the computer, Gundy said later, so the humans could make decisions based on actual game situations. And so, I would think without a computer involved, that it would benefit [Oklahoma State].Fact is, it has not benefited the Cowboys. At least not yet. If Oklahoma State beats the Sooners and there are upsets in the Pac-12 and ACC title games, perhaps the nature of the Week 2 loss -- combined with a Big 12 title -- would help OSU with the committee when compared to a two-loss Big Ten champion, Colorado and Michigan.Among that four-team mix, from which no possible member currently ranks below the Cowboys, Oklahoma State would have to finish in the top two.But what if Oklahoma State, instead, was 11-1 and had not given the committee reason to consider Week 2?I feel like everybody on the team kind of had that same process of thinking, running back Chris Carson said. We all thought, What if something different had happened and we won that [CMU] game? Its something thats on my mind when you see a team with one loss going to the playoff.But its not going to help us to go back and think about it.And thats where Gundy has succeeded most. Despite his own public comments in the past two weeks, the coach closed the matter with his players in mid-September.He told us to come back hot, Rudolph said, bring the fire back into it.Safety Jordan Sterns said the Cowboys may have gained focus as a result of the Week 2 loss. In fact, whos to say that Oklahoma State, without that setback, would have outlasted Pitt and Texas Tech or come from behind in the second half to win two Big 12 games?Coach Gundy did a great job, Sterns said, of saying, Hey you guys played hard. Thats all we can ask for. He told us not to hang our heads. It was all about how we responded. We worked too hard to let a game like that distract us from what our goal was.Remember, Saturday is big. A win over Oklahoma would give the Cowboys their second conference title in 41 seasons.This is for a ring, Sterns said. This is for some jewelry, man.Gundy hinted that he might soon have more to say about the playoff impact of Week 2.Its a non-factor until we play the last game this Saturday, the coach said.And then? Even if the Cowboys win, the chances are good that theyll be left only to ponder the two words that danced in the head of their quarterback.What if?Air Max 720 Scontate . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration.
