The Oklahoma State football team jumped to No.12 in both major polls released on Sunday, marking its highest ranking this season.
The Cowboys have now reached the top 15 of the Associate Press Top 25 at some point in 12 of the past 14 seasons, and this week's No. 12 ranking in the AP poll marks their highest since Oct. 31, 2020, when they were ranked sixth in the country.
Following OSU's second consecutive victory over a ranked opponent Saturday, the Pokes moved up seven spots in the AP Top 25 and six spots in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. The seven-spot rise marked the largest move up in the AP poll this week.
The Cowboys are one of three teams from the Big 12 ranked in both polls, as Oklahoma sits at No. 6/5 and OSU's next opponent, Texas, is ranked No. 21 in the AP poll and No. 23 in the coaches poll. Baylor, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Kansas State are all receiving votes.
The Cowboys have an open date this week, while Texas and Oklahoma face off Saturday before OSU travels to Austin to take on the Longhorns on Saturday, Oct. 16.
