Ranking Roundup: Oklahoma State Drops in CFP Ranking, AP, Coaches after Big 12 Championship Loss
The Cowboys are included in final CFP ranking for seventh time.
Oklahoma State fell a couple spots after getting blown out in the Big 12 Championship game.
The Cowboys are No. 20 in the final rankings from the College Football Playoff committee, down from 18 last week. OSU came in at No. 22 and 21 in the AP and Coaches polls, respectively.
The biggest reveal — after Texas’ inclusion in the Final Four — was Oklahoma falling just below the cut line for a NY6 bowl. If the Sooners had been in the top 11, if could have opened up a spot for the Cowboys as the third-highest ranked Big 12 team. Kansas State remained just in the ranking at 25th.
The Cowboys have 43 appearances in the CFP rankings since 2015, with their highest ranking being at No. 5 late in 2021. This is the seventh time the OSU is ranked in the committee’s final ranking of the season.
Now that the full CFP rankings are out, OSU’s bowl destination should be forthcoming.
