The Cowboys weren’t in the AP or Coaches rankings this week, but the College Football Playoff committee does think the Pokes are one of the best 25 teams in the country.

The College Football Playoff Rankings updated Tuesday night, as Oklahoma State debuted in the last spot at No. 25. The Cowboys are one of six Big 12 teams in the ranking, joining No. 2 Utah, No. 10 BYU, No. 12 Texas Tech, No. 14 Houston and No. 23 Arizona.

Here is the ranking in full:

The Cowboys are 1-1 against teams in the CFP Top 25, having lost to No. 14 Houston and beaten No. 16 Oregon.

OSU hosts No. 12 Texas Tech at 8:30 p.m. Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium in a game that could vault the Cowboys up in the rankings, but it feels likely at this point the Pokes would need to win the Big 12 to make the College Football Playoff.

It’s OSU’s 44th overall appearance in the CFP Rankings, the 11th-most of any program.
