The Cowboys got the last laugh.
Oklahoma State beat in-state rival Oklahoma in the all-sports Phillips 66 Bedlam Series 21-9 for the 2023-24 competition year. It’s the ninth time in the last 11 years that OSU has won the competition, and the 21-9 mark is the largest margin of victory for either school since the competition started in 1999-2000.

This will be the last full slate of sports in the series for the foreseeable future, as OU leaves the Big 12 for the SEC officially on Monday. Some sports are still scheduling nonconference events, while the wrestling teams will still share the same conference, but the number of Bedlam matchups will dwindle starting next year. With the current state of the all-sports Bedlam Series concluding, OSU has a 13-11 all-time lead.
OSU started its final full rivalry year strong, leading 6-1 after the fall sports season. The fall was highlighted by a 27-24 win for the football team in Boone Pickens Stadium. We might have to wait for a future bowl matchup before we get to watch Bedlam happen on the gridiron again.
During the winter season, the rivals split contests 4-4, with wrestling getting two of those wins for OSU. The Pokes really furthered the margin in the spring, getting an 11-4 advantage in those sports. Softball upset the No. 2 Sooners in a series, while the baseball team was 4-1 against OU with a victory in the Big 12 Baseball Championship final.
If the rivals do not meet in a head-to-head matchup for a sport, then Big 12 standings were used to determine a winner for that sport. Other than that, the series winner is determined by straight wins and losses, with no sport weighted more than the other.
