The Sports Illustrated cover featuring Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson and center Andrew Lewis will be distributed to subscribers and newsstands in 10 states -- Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana.
What a tremendous recruiting tool for the Cowboys. Every prospect in the state of Texas will be made aware of OSU's presence on the SI cover.
The magazine's college football preview arrived on newstands today. SI's editors produced four regional covers. Oklahoma State, Oregon, Ole Miss and Penn State are represented on the regional covers.
On the OSU cover is this headline: "Party Crashers – The Cowboys Have The Firepower To Shake Up The BCS."
Sports Illustrated ranks OSU at No. 7, behind No. 1 Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Cal, Virginia Tech and Ole Miss. The Georgia Bulldogs, who play at OSU on Sept. 5, are at No. 15.
The magazine predicts that OSU will face LSU and former Cowboy coach Les Miles in the Cotton Bowl. SI has OSU wide receiver Dez Bryant and cornerback Perrish Cox on its preseason All-American list.
