Projection: likely out

Oklahoma State looks like an on-the-bubble casualty because its résumé is defined by a few eye-catching wins that are offset by too many damaging road and conference losses. The Cowboys have shown they can beat top opponents, with a big home victory over Texas A&M, neutral-site successes against Northwestern and Grand Canyon, and true road wins at Utah and at UCF, but those highs are undercut by ugly defeats away at Arizona, Cincinnati and Texas Tech and by multiple setbacks to league powerhouses such as Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas. With little margin for error the only realistic way to change the projection is a strong run in the conference tournament to erase the poor road results and pile up quality wins against familiar foes.
