STILLWATER - Oklahoma State maintained its position at No. 18 in the AP Top 25 and entered the US LBM Coaches Poll at No. 20 on Sunday following a 42-28 victory over UCF at Boone Pickens Stadium.
The Cowboys (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) extended their winning streak to four games Saturday and secured their third consecutive appearance in the AP rankings, marking their longest stretch in the poll since September 2024.
OSU also made its season debut in the Coaches Poll after spending the previous two weeks as the first team receiving votes. The Cowboys received 403 votes in the updated coaches poll, a 216-point increase from last week.
Oklahoma State is one of five Big 12 programs represented in both national polls. BYU (No. 8), Texas Tech (No. 10), Utah (No. 11) and Houston (No. 20) join the Cowboys in the AP Top 25, while BYU (No. 8), Texas Tech (No. 9), Utah (No. 11) and Houston (No. 18) are ranked in the coaches poll, respectively.
Oklahoma State returns to the road Saturday for a Big 12 matchup against Houston at TDECU Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT on FOX.
