A History of OSUs Ranking in the Preseason AP Top 25 Poll and What It Suggests of 2022

8/15/2022

0 Comments

 

The preseason AP Top 25 college football poll was released on Monday, where Oklahoma State came in with its highest ranking — No. 12 — in the preseason poll since 2017.

The Cowboys came in behind Big 12 foes OU and Baylor in the ranking but still garnered immense respect on the whole. It’s the sixth time since Mike Gundy was head coach that OSU will enter the season inside the top 15 of the rankings.

OSU should be set for success this season behind a four-year starter at QB, a revamped offensive line and a veteran-heavy defensive line. However, history is a bit shaky for the Pokes when they have gotten this level of accolades this early. Of the five previous times OSU was a preseason top-15 team under Gundy — 2020, 2017, 2013, 2011 and 2009 — four of the instances resulted in OSU finishing the season either unranked or ranked lower than the preseason. The only anomaly came in 2011 when it opened the season No. 9, climbed to as high as No. 2 and finished No. 3. (Scholars still argue to this day that Justin Blackmon and Brandon Weeden would have torched both of LSU and Alabama and won the title, if given the opportunity that year. But I digress.)

Here’s a look at the history for OSU dating all the way back to 2009.

Year Preseason Finish Season High
2022 12 ? ?
2021 Unranked 7 5 (Week 14)
2020 15 20 6 (Weeks 7 and 8)
2019 Unranked Unranked 22 (Week 14)
2018 Unranked Unranked 15 (Week 4)
2017 10 14 6 (Week 3)
2016 21 11 10 (Week 12)
2015 Unranked 20 4 (Week 11)
2014 Unranked Unranked 15 (Week 7)
2013 13 17 6 (Week 14)
2012 19 Unranked 18 (Week 1)
2011 9 3 2 (Weeks 10 and 11)
2010 Unranked 13 10 (Week 12)
2009 9 Unranked 5 (Week 1)

OSU has plenty of holes to fill to outperform its preseason ranking, as it has done six times since 2010, but the path is absolutely there.

“Everything is going well at this time,” Gundy said last week at his media day. “We’ve got a long way to go, but we’ve got a good group as I mentioned earlier. I’m excited. I like what I see with the coaching, the interaction with the players, guys’ effort, responsibility, the loyalty to each other and their team. I’m excited about where we’re at, but we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.”

As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
