The 2024 Oklahoma State Cowboys football team represented Oklahoma State University as a member of the Big 12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by Mike Gundy in his 20th year as their head coach. The Cowboys played home games at Boone Pickens Stadium located in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Following a Big XII Championship game appearance in the previous year, the Cowboys had high pre-season expectations with Heisman candidate Ollie Gordon II. After a 3âÂÂ0 start, the Cowboys rose to #13 in the AP poll, but dropped out of the rankings after consecutive losses. After a loss to TCU on November 9, the Cowboys clinched their first losing season since 2005, ending an eighteen-season-long bowl streak. The Cowboys lost their final 9 games, going winless in conference play. This was the Cowboys worst season since 1991, when they went winless. No players were selected for the all-conference Big 12 teams, the only school to have that dubious honor.
On December 4, offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn and defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo were fired.
The preseason poll was released on July 2, 2024.
