Cowboys Continue Steady Climb in Week Three Polls
September 08, 2024 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State football team climbed three spots in both the AP Top 25 and AFCA Coaches Poll this week to sit at No. 13 and No. 14, respectively.
With Sunday's announcement, Oklahoma State has now reached the top 15 of the Associated Press poll in 15 of the past 17 seasons. It also marks OSU's highest placement in the poll since October 23, 2022, when it was ranked ninth.
The Cowboys are one of five Big 12 teams represented in this week's polls, closely surrounded by Utah (12/10), Kansas State (14/15), Arizona (20/18) and Iowa State (21/23). Kansas, BYU, UCF and TCU all received votes in both sets of polls as well.
On Saturday, Oklahoma State improved to 2-0 for the eighth season in a row following a 39-31 victory over Arkansas in double overtime. Trailing 21-7 at halftime, the Cowboys overcame a deficit of 14+ points for the third time in their past six games.
Oklahoma State closes non-conference play next Saturday with a short trip to Tulsa, which is set for 11 a.m. on ESPN2.
