Oklahoma State put a bow on its nonconference slate with a blowout win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. For their effort, the Cowboys get a bye week to prepare for a Big 12 opener against Baylor in Waco. But despite the win, the Cowboys got leapfrogged by USC, dropping one spot from 7 to 8 in the latest USA Today sports AFCA coaches poll.
We’ll take a look at how the rest of the Big 12 fared, but first the Top 25.
Lincoln Riley’s USC squad passed up the Cowboys thanks to a 45-17 win over Fresno State. I guess that’s a little more impressive than a 63-7 win over an FCS opponent.
