The No. 18-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys are undefeated in conference play going into Week 7 of the 2026 season.
The Pokes (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) defeated UCF 42-28 in Week 6 at home, and are traveling south to Houston to face the No. 20-ranked Cougars on Saturday. This will be Oklahoma State’s first ranked conference game this season and first since the upset over No. 6 Oregon in Week 2.
With two more wins, the Cowboys guarantee a spot in a bowl game for the first time since 2023.
