Oklahoma State Ranked No. 11 in Preseason Coaches Poll

Even with a Heisman-contending quarterback, future NFL talents at wide receiver, and a returning All-American running back, OSU finds itself just outside the top 10 of the preseason USA Today coaches poll released on Thursday.

To no one’s surprise, the preseason rankings — which is typically a helmet sticker award favoring college football’s bluebloods — goes to Alabama at No. 1, followed closely by Ohio State, Florida State, USC and Clemson rounding out the top five.
