Oklahoma State football bowl projections 2026: Where are Cowboys entering Week 6?

A Bedlam postseason matchup? It could happen.

Sports Illustrated has projected an Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State game in the Texas Bowl on New Year's Eve, in what would be OSU's first postseason appearance since 2023. Some also predict the Pokes could face Texas A&M in a rematch of the 2023 Texas Bowl, which OSU won 31-23.

The Cowboys are undefeated since losing to Tulsa in the season opener, including a huge upset over Oregon and their first conference win in nearly three years.

Here are the latest 2026 bowl projections for the Cowboys entering Week 6 against UCF:
