Boise State and Oklahoma State is the sort of college football matchup that would be great for a bowl game, or even on a video game. But pitting those two types of programs in a nonconference game is not typical.
Truth is, many Power Five conference schools would love to play someone like Boise State — but not many are keen on having to play the Broncos in Boise. But Oklahoma State agreed in 2013 to a series that would be played in 2018 in Stillwater and 2021 in Boise.
“I think it’s a great matchup,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.
