Oklahoma State’s resume is defined by a mix of solid nonconference wins and neutral-site success that show it can win away from home, yet it is offset by a damaging neutral loss to Oklahoma and a string of victories over very weak opposition that limit the weight of those wins. The offense has carried the team at times while the defense has been inconsistent, which makes results against stronger opponents the true barometer, and the remainder of the conference slate offers multiple high-leverage chances to improve with road trips to Texas Tech, Iowa State and Arizona and tough home dates against Baylor, Kansas State, TCU, Kansas and Houston. Until those signature road or neutral wins materialize the committee will view the profile as promising but vulnerable because of soft nonconference opponents and that headliner loss, though the upcoming opportunities give the team a clear path to settle any doubts.
