Oklahoma State on the Fringes of Major Polls after Win in Morgantown

The Cowboys will enter their homecoming tilt against Cincinnati unranked, but only just.

Oklahoma State was in the receiving votes category of the AP Poll and Coaches Poll on Sunday after their 48-34 victory against West Virginia. The Cowboys would be 31st in each of the polls if they were expanded.

The Big 12 still has only Oklahoma and Texas in the major polls, with the Red River rivals just a spot from each other on each poll — OU at No. 6/6 and Texas at No. 7/7.

Future Big 12 squad Utah jumped up in the polls after a win in Los Angeles against USC. The Utes are No. 13 in both polls.

Kansas State, a team the Cowboys beat a few weeks ago, is narrowly ahead of OSU in the receiving votes category of each poll. The Wildcats would be No. 28 in each poll.

Oklahoma State hosts Cincinnati at 7 p.m. Saturday.
