This is going to sound weird, but after a 36-30 loss to Texas on Saturday Oklahoma State actually improved its standing in the Top 25.
While the Cowboys remained at what essentially amounts to No. 27, they picked up six points despite appearing in the polls of eight fewer voters.
Matt Brown of the Atheltic — the only voter that have OSU in his poll every week — kept the Cowboys at No. 20. In all eight voters moved the Cowboys up in their polls, four voters added OSU to theirs. Two moved OSU down but kept them ranked.
