Oklahoma State held steady in the top 25 of the latest Coaches Poll rankings released on Tuesday, but a close encounter with Missouri State cost the Pokes one spot. The Cowboys dropped from No. 22 in the preseason poll to No. 23 in Tuesday’s update following Week 1, likely a response to their narrow 23-16 win over their FCS opponent Saturday.
OSU is one of only four Big 12 teams ranked in the Coaches Poll. Every school but one — Texas — dropped at least one spot after Week 1, with OU dropping one spot to No. 4 and Iowa State dropping two spots to No. 10. Texas leapt four spots to No. 15.
TCU and Kansas State are receiving votes but just outside the top 25.
