CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State is ranked 18th in the preseason Associated Press Top 25, which was unveiled on Monday. That preseason mark joins the USA Today Coaches Poll, which also has the Beavers at No. 18.
The ranking comes on the heels of a 10-3 season for the Beavers, the third 10-win season in program history. OSU concluded the season with a 30-3 win over Florida in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl, and the Beavers have won four straight games entering the 2023 season opener, tied for the 10th-longest win streak nationally.
Oregon State was in the AP Top 25 for six weeks during the 2022 season, which included a final ranking at No. 17 after the win over Florida. The Beavers also finished 17th in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
It’s the eighth time OSU has been ranked by either the coaches poll or the Associated Press to open a season, and the fourth time since 2001.
The Beavers open the 2023 season Sept. 3 when visiting San Jose State. Kickoff is slated for 12:30 p.m. PT and it will air on CBS. OUR MISSION
