After Tech Loss, OSU Falls Six Spots in Latest Coaches Poll Rankings
The Cowboys took a hit in the Coaches poll following their loss to Tech.
Seven ranked teams fell flat on an wacky Saturday of college football, and Oklahoma State wasn’t immune to the upset bug. The Cowboys lost 41-17 to unranked Texas Tech, giving OSU an 0-1 start to Big 12 play for a third consecutive season.
The loss docked OSU a good chunk in the polls, as expected. The latest Coaches Poll rankings released Sunday have the Cowboys down six spots from No. 15 last week to No. 21 this week, just ahead of Texas and just behind Oregon, which also suffered a loss over the weekend.
Here’s a look at the updated Coaches Poll.
