As Expected Cowboys Drop In Rankings, Kick-Off for Tech at 11 a.m.
STILLWATER -- Saturday night was less than pleasing for those who follow Oklahoma State as the Cowboys lost 41-13 in Norman and now they well try to recover at home inside Boone Pickens Stadium with an 11 a.m. kickoff against Texas Tech for the final home game of the season. The game will be televised nationally on FOX.
The Cowboys went into the Oklahoma game ranked at No. 14, but after the loss there was a dramatic drop in the rankings.
The Coaches Poll, which was released at noon, dropped the Cowboys to the No. 22 spot, a drop of 8 spots, the lowest they have been ranked all season. The AP Poll followed suit at 1 p.m., as they dropped the Cowboys 8 spots to No. 21, their lowest they have appeared in the AP this season.
The loss to Oklahoma, in which the Sooners doubled the Cowboys in yardage 492-yards to 246, virtually eliminates any need to watch the College Football Playoff initial rankings on Tuesday this week.
It also means the Cowboys will head into next Saturday ranked No. 21 as they face an unranked Texas Tech in the last home game of the season.
After the loss to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State moved to 5-2 on the season, 4-2 in Big 12 play. Texas Tech is currently 3-5 in the 2020 season, 2-5 in Big 12 play.
