Oklahoma State’s football schedule will look quite a bit different in 2023. The Big 12 is adding four new teams, and the Cowboys will face each of them this fall. But before we drill down into the conference slate, let’s take a look at OSU’s first three weeks of the season.
The Cowboys’ strength of schedule is ranked 12th out of 14 Big 12 teams, and these first three games are a big reason why. You’ve got an FCS school to start before a road trip to a hapless, albeit Power Five opponent, in Arizona State. The most intriguing game in the nonconference is a visit from Southern Alabama, fresh off a record season and with most of its pieces coming back.
