The series replaces a two-game set scheduled against Alabama. The Southeastern Conference’s move to a nine-game league schedule was the dominant factor in the schedule change between the Cowboys and the Crimson Tide. Following SEC shuffling, both OSU and Alabama needed home games during the same season.
Michigan State’s trip to Stillwater will be the first by a “traditional” Big Ten opponent. Big Ten members Nebraska, UCLA and Washington visited Oklahoma State while members of other conferences and Big Ten member Oregon, formerly of the Pac-12, will visit Stillwater on September 12.
OSU and MSU have never met on the football field, but the Cowboys have played 11 games in the Great Lakes State. Only two of those have been played since 1955, including a 1992 game at Michigan and a 2015 matchup at Central Michigan.
The upcoming series with Michigan State continues a run of home-and-home Power 4 opponents for Oklahoma State, which plays Arkansas (2027, 2032 and 2033), Oregon (2026) and Nebraska (2034 and 2035) in upcoming seasons.
