Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news. OSU Bullets • How far will OSU travel in year one of the new Big 12? Spoiler: not near as far as others will (PFB) • David Taylor is star-hunting – trying to get a generational recruit to Stillwater (PFB) • Shouldn’t be too surprising – the preseason AP poll hasn’t been that accurate concerning the Cowboys (here they are for this year). When it comes to OSU, the AP preseason poll is much less accurate. Only twice in the past decade has the Cowboys’ preseason ranking been within five spots of their position in the final poll. And the misses by the preseason pollsters have been both ways, for better and for worse. [Beyond the Box Score with Jenni Carlson] Solid follow-up question – if OSU finishes more than five spots away from where they started 80 percent of the time, would you guess they finish higher than No. 12 or lower than No. 22?

I would predict that OSU is more likely to finish better than 12th as opposed to worse than 22nd. If we are predicted to be 17th that is most likely a 9-3 record. If we are worse than 22nd then that record is at best 8-4. If OSU surpasses 12th, then we are 10-2 or better…in my opinion.
