The Oklahoma State Cowboys had an up and down year in 2026, but as the season wound down, it was more up.
The Pokes won their last 4 Big 12 series going 10-2 in those 12 games to fight their way back into the NCAA Tournament before bowing out in the Regional round to the host school, Alabama.
Perhaps one of the reasons why OSU was able to finish strong last season was the schedule they put together to start the season as they finished with a top 50 strength of schedule in the country.
For the upcoming 2027 season, the Cowboys have put together another strong schedule that includes one of the best conferences in the country as they released their schedule on Monday.
