The three teams in front of No. 4 Sooners (6-1) are undefeated.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma continued its climb back to the top of the
polls. The Sooners were No. 4 in the AP, Coaches
and Harris polls released Sunday afternoon.
OU (6-1 overall, 2-1 Big 12) dealt previously undefeated
and then-No. 11 Missouri a 41-31 loss at Owen Field
Saturday night. The Tigers (5-1) dropped to a tie with
Kansas (6-0) at No. 15 in the AP poll and No. 17 in
the Coaches poll. The Sooners received one first-place
vote in the AP poll.
Half of the Big 12 Conference teams were ranked in
the AP Top 25 including Oklahoma (4), Kansas (15),
Missouri (15), Texas (19), Texas Tech (22) and Kansas
State (25). K-State was the only team of the group
not also ranked in the Coaches poll (No. 30 in votes).
No team in college football history has been ranked
more times in the AP top five than Oklahoma. Sunday
marked the 347th week the Sooners have secured a top-five
ranking since the poll began in 1936. OU and Notre
Dame are tied for the most weeks ranked No. 1 at 95
each.
