The Cowboys are ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since Week 4 of the 2024 season. Oklahoma State’s win over West Virginia on Saturday was its first in Big 12 action since Nov. 25, 2023, when it beat BYU. That snapped an 18-game conference losing streak that lasted 1,036 days. The victory was also OSU’s first road Big 12 win since Nov. 18, 2023, when they beat Houston, 43-30.

Oklahoma State enters the bye week on a three-game winning streak for the first time since starting the 2024 season with a 3-0 record. In 2024 and 2025 the Cowboys were a combined 4-20 record with a 1-11 mark in 2025. That led to the firing of head coach Mike Gundy and the eventual hiring of Eric Morris, who was head coach at North Texas last season.

Already this season the Cowboys have snapped a 21-game FBS losing streak after beating Oregon in Week 2. It was also the program’s first win at home over a Big Ten Conference member. The win over West Virginia was the Cowboys’ sixth straight win in Morgantown and their second night game win over the Mountaineers on the road.

The Cowboys will watch the Big 12 play without them this week, with a keen focus on the Knights, who will travel to Houston to face the No. 20 Cougars on Saturday at 11 a.m. on ESPN. The Knights have played their last two games without starting quarterback Alonza Barnett III and his status is unclear going into the week.
