Oklahoma State No. 19 In Preseason Coaches Poll
The preseason Coaches Poll came out on Thursday, and Oklahoma State checks in at No. 19 just behind Washington and just ahead of North Carolina. This seems like a pretty decent and fair place for the Pokes to start. The third-ranked Big 12 team (of four) in the Top 25.
In the last three preseason Coaches Polls, OSU has been ranked No. 28, No. 30 and No. 14 back in 2013 (a season that worked out pretty well for the Cowboys). So this bodes well. Also, if you’re wondering, both Mike Gundy and Bob Stoops have a vote in this poll.
Here’s a look.
