<p>I have posted this question at two other forums, but think this might be the best place to get answers from so many of you informed parents that are willing to share. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>I'm an OSU fan who grew up near Stillwater. I have to reluctantly say that (at least several years ago), OU was the clear better choice, with one exception: agricultural business. However, I have no idea how Boone Pickens' money may have changed that dynamic in the last several years.</p>
<p>According to U. S. News, OU is 58th and OSU is 83rd. Not that it is the be all and end all, but both are pretty lowly rated. Texas is much better--7th in the nation, so if you cross the Red River, it would be a huge jump. In Southwest, both Arizona and Arizona State are in the top 25 nationally as well.</p>
<p>Business Week magazine has an even lower opinion, ranking OU 91st and not even considering Okie State.</p>
