Last season, Oregon State reached as high as #10 in the coaches poll. In the top 25 released on December 3 prior to the start of bowl season, the Beavers were #22. Following a loss to Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl, they were two spots shy of the final top 25. OSU was #19 in the final College Footbal Playoff top 25, however.
The Beavers are set to open the season on August 31 when they host the Idaho State Bengals at Reser Stadium.
