STILLWATER, Oklahoma - Seven home games, including visits from Big 12 newcomers West Virginia and TCU, highlight the 2012 Oklahoma State University football schedule. The Cowboys open the season Sept. 1 when the defending Big 12 champions face Savannah State in the initial meeting between the schools. The following week the Cowboys hit the road for the first time when they travel to Tucson to face Arizona. The Cowboys and Wildcats will be meeting for the third straight year. They will face each other in Arizona for the first time since 1942.
On Sept. 15 Louisiana visits OSU. The Ragin Cajuns, who will be in Stillwater for a second straight season, are coming off a win in the New Orleans Bowl.

A new low comes to Oklahoma State football on Sept. 1. Maybe a new low for Big 12 football. The worst program to ever grace a Big 12 schedule.
OSU hosts Savannah State on Sept. 1, and there is no pleasant way to put this. Savannah State will be the worst opponent the Cowboys have ever played, at least going back to World War I. I can’t speak for some of the teacher colleges of the Woodrow Wilson era. But Savannah State will be the worst in at least 90 years. There is no shame in Stillwater when it comes to scheduling.
Savannah State is a Division I-AA program in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Savannah State joined the MEAC for the 2010 season and was independent the eight years before that. Before 2002, Savannah State was NCAA Division II, the level at which Central Oklahoma and Southwestern State play.
Here are Savannah State’s season records going backwards from 2011: 1-10, 1-10, 2-8, 5-7, 1-9, 3-8, 0-11, 2-8, 0-12, 1-9, 2-7, 2-8. That’s 12 seasons in the 2000s, with 20 total victories.
