Oklahoma State has defeated No. 6 Oregon in one of the most stunning upsets in recent memory.
The Ducks entered this game as a top national championship contender. On the other side, Oklahoma State was coming off of an embarrassing loss to Tulsa in Week 1 to kick off the Eric Morris era in Stillwater.
When these teams met a year ago in Eugene, Oregon won 69-3 without scoring a single point in the fourth quarter.
That history proved to be mostly worthless on Saturday as the Cowboys prevailed 39-31 over Oregon, laying a significant blow to the Ducks’ national title and College Football Playoff hopes.
This result will have significant ramifications for the Big Ten, which has endured a rough start to the 2026 season that included a Rutgers loss to UMass in Week 1 and a few other close calls.
It’s also an impactful game for the Heisman Trophy conversation — Oregon quarterback Dante Moore was a leading contender prior to this loss. He threw for just 191 yards on 29 attempts against Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State becomes the first FBS team with an active 10+ game losing streak to defeat an AP Top 10 opponent.
