Oklahoma State Stuns Oregon, Ends 21-Game FBS Skid
Oklahoma State ends 21-game FBS losing streak with stunning 39-31 victory over No. 6 Oregon
The update
Oklahoma State snapped a 21-game losing streak against FBS opponents by stunning No. 6 Oregon 39-31 on Saturday. The Cowboys, who had lost 21 consecutive games against FBS competition dating back to 2024, defeated a Ducks team that entered the game as a 24½-point favorite.
Why it matters
This represents the biggest upset of the 2026 college football season and ends Oklahoma State’s longest FBS skid in program history. Oregon, which had won 57 consecutive games when favored by 24+ points, now faces questions about its national championship aspirations after a performance head coach Dan Lanning called “not close in a lot of ways” and admitted “we got our ass kicked in a lot of areas.”
What to watch
How both teams respond to this result could reshape the college football landscape. Oregon’s ability to overcome early losses under Lanning will be tested, while Oklahoma State’s breakthrough raises questions about whether this marks the beginning of a new era for the program.
