Oklahoma State Comes in at No. 22 in First College Football Playoff Poll of 2023 Season
OSU was unranked in the AP and Coaches polls.
Despite a pair of early losses, the Cowboys have played so well as of late that they were included in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season that released Tuesday night.
Oklahoma State came in at No. 22 — sandwiched between two Big 12 teams the Cowboys have beaten in No. 21 Kansas and No. 23 Kansas State. Some crazy, crazy stuff would have to take place for OSU to get into the CFP, but this is a nice recognition of just how far the Cowboys have come over the past month.
