Projection: likely out

Oklahoma State’s profile lands where it does because its résumé is built on a few impressive moments that are undercut by a string of bad away performances and defensive lapses; signature victories like the home wins over Texas A&M and BYU, the road victory at Utah and neutral-site wins over Northwestern and Grand Canyon show the ceiling, while the blowout loss at Arizona and losses away at Texas Tech and Iowa State plus setbacks to TCU and Baylor expose a vulnerability to top competition and a tendency to struggle away from home, and with a stretch of games remaining that includes home tests against Kansas, West Virginia and Houston and road chances at Colorado, Cincinnati and UCF there are clear opportunities to climb but also meaningful risks that keep this team on the wrong side of the line until it proves it can win the big road or neutral games that committees prize.
