Oklahoma State Moves Up in Associated Press and Coaches Polls

After the first week of football, Oklahoma State has moved up in both the Associated Press and Coaches Polls

STILLWATER -- Even though Oklahoma State didn't play its season opener against Tulsa this week, the Cowboys moved up in both the Associated Press and Coaches Polls following the first weekend of action.

With the SEC not starting its season until the weekend of Sept. 26, and the Big Ten and Pac-12 not playing the 2020 season, there was quite a bit of shifting in both the AP and Coaches Polls.

Oklahoma State's season opener against Tulsa set to play on Sept. 12, was postponed until Sept. 19 due to COVID-19 precautions taken by Tulsa. The Hurricane had a rash of positive cases throughout fall camp and as a result, had only practiced a handful of times since the beginning of August.

The kickoff for Oklahoma State's game on Sept. 19 is schedule for 11 a.m. and will be televised on ESPN.
