Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State: Revisiting Aggies, Cowboys' Big 12 football series history

Texas A&M football’s matchup with Oklahoma State in the Texas Bowl should be a familiar affair for the Aggies.

Every season from 1996-2011, Texas A&M faced the Cowboys as members of the Big 12 Conference. The yearly bout was relatively short-lived, as the Aggies moved to the SEC in 2012. But it was once a key matchup in the conference.

This season’s matchup is also similar to the 2019 Texas Bowl, when Texas A&M (7-5) and Oklahoma State (8-4) entered with identical matchups. The Aggies won 24-21, with quarterback Kellen Mond earning the bowl game MVP. It was the teams' first meeting as non-conference opponents since Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC.
