Cowboys Move Up to 11th in AP Poll
USC leapfrogged the Cowboys in the ranking.

Oklahoma State sits at No. 11 in the updated poll after beating Central Michigan 58-44 this past weekend. That’s up one spot from the Preseason AP Poll. The Cowboys jumped Oregon and Utah in the rankings, but USC leapfrogged OSU after the Trojans’ 66-14 victory over Rice. Here is a look at the AP Poll and Coaches Poll side by side heading into Week 2.
