2024 Oklahoma State Cowboys College Football Betting

Since taking over as head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Mike Gundy has become the winningest coach in his alma mater’s history. Gundy, the former Oklahoma State quarterback, has done more than anyone dreamed possible in Stillwater. The 3-time Big 12 Coach of the Year has rejected numerous offers for big money at other schools to stay home. This year, the Big 12 is reformed with the loss of Oklahoma and Texas, but with the addition of Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado. The race is expected to be exciting and wide open. As for Oklahoma State’s prospects in 2024, there are a lot of differing opinions. But a bowl game is a near certainty. Since 2006, Oklahoma State made the postseason every year.

2024 Oklahoma State Cowboys Betting Preview

Oklahoma State overcame a sluggish start in 2023, building momentum that culminated in an appearance in the Big 12 title game and ten wins. With a star in running back Ollie Gordon II leading a veteran roster, Mike Gundy’s Cowboys could make a bid to become the Big 12’s premium program, minus SEC-bound Texas and Oklahoma.

A span of 12 months flipped Oklahoma State’s script from unknown and uneasy to veteran and viable. Ollie Gordon II turned away portal promises from premium programs to return after a breakout season as the nation’s leading rusher, readying for a run at a Heisman candidacy.

Quarterback Alan Bowman is back for a seventh season of college football after solidifying Oklahoma State’s offense last fall and will command an attack with a variety of options. The offensive line ranks as one of the most experienced in college football history, featuring six redshirt super seniors and a redshirt senior. What a narrative shift from 2023, when the Cowboys were reeling from massive losses to the transfer portal and picked seventh in the Big 12 media preseason poll.

Gordon surged onto the scene last fall, romping for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns. He claimed the Doak Walker and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose awards and was a unanimous All-American and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Bowman can find comfort in handing off to his star running back — or throwing to a proven receiver corps led by Brennan Presley and Rashod Owens, who combined for 164 catches, 1,886 yards, and 11 TDs.

While the defense boasts ten returning starters, the group needs to be better for the team to reach its lofty goals. Oklahoma State ranked No. 86 in scoring defense (28.6 ppg) and No. 111 in pass efficiency defense. Those are hardly championship-caliber stats. Still, there’s hope for improvement as many key returners look to gain traction.

2024 Oklahoma State Cowboys Football Schedule

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have always operated in the shadow of their arch rival Oklahoma Sooners. In fact, the intrastate rivalry between the two schools has been dominated by Oklahoma in a lopsided manner. Oklahoma has a record of 90-19-7 against Oklahoma State.

The future of the Cowboys is more chaotic than ever before. Oklahoma and Texas will move to the SEC by 2024 and break apart from OSU. With the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the Big Ten, a ripple effect of future conference realignment is guaranteed. Where that leaves the Pokes is anyone’s guess.

Oklahoma State has one national championship (1945) with ten conference titles.

Mike Gundy has a career-winning percentage of .675 in 18 seasons as the Oklahoma State head coach. That is the best performance since Pappy Waldorf in the early 1930s. Since 2006, Gundy has led the Cowboys to a bowl game every season. Gundy has led OSU to eight double-digit win seasons in the past 13 years. Since 2008, the Cowboys have finished in the final national top 25 rankings ten times. Last year, Gundy beat Oklahoma in what could be the final Bedlam Game ever.

Despite operating as the little brother of Oklahoma, the Cowboys have had plenty of great players come through their program. Barry Sanders won the 1988 Heisman Trophy and starred for the Detroit Lions. Other great Cowboys of the past include Mason Rudolph, Matt Fodge, Justin Blackmon, James Washington, and Dan Bailey.
