GLENDALE, Ariz.--We're still about an hour or so from kickoff, but here are a few last-minute notes to chew on before we get started, via ESPN Stats and Info.

• Oklahoma State's last major bowl game? The 1946 Sugar Bowl, where it beat St. Mary's. Big win there.

• The last four No. 1 NFL Draft picks to play in a BCS bowl game won it. (Cam Newton, Jamarcus Russell, Alex Smith, Carson Palmer)

• Justin Blackmon has a touchdown catch in 22 of his past 24 games, and has consecutive seasons with at least 110 catches, 1,500 yards and 15 touchdown catches.

• Joseph Randle can surpass Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein in rushing touchdowns; both are chasing the record this season. Klein has 26. Randle has 25. Texas' Ricky Williams' Big 12 record: 27

• Oklahoma State's passed on 59 percent of its plays this season, the fourth-highest rate in the FBS.

• The Cowboys' 22 touchdown drives of less than a minute lead the FBS. Oklahoma State had one in every Big 12 game, including five versus Baylor. Hard to believe after that Alamo Bowl, I know.
