The Oklahoma Sooners are among the top 15 teams in the nation after the latest AP Top 25 was released on Tuesday. They moved up one spot from the preseason poll to No. 15 in the nation. Oklahoma was ranked No. 13 in the US LBM Coaches Poll released earlier today.
The Sooners are one of eight teams from the SEC ranked by the Associated Press. Of those eight teams, the Sooners will play six of them, including five teams inside the top 14 of the week two AP Poll.
This comes after LSU, Clemson, and Texas A&M dropped significantly following their week one losses. OU didn’t climb higher due to big jumps by Miami, who beat Florida, and USC, who beat LSU.
Georgia is the No. 1 team in the nation after receiving 57 out of 62 first-place votes this week. They’re followed by Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, and Notre Dame in the top five.
The Sooners still have a lot to prove to the voters, and their next opportunity comes this week against the [autotag]Houston Cougars[/autotag]. However, many might still vote conservatively on the Sooners until they face Tennessee in their SEC debut on September 21.
The Vols come in one spot ahead of Oklahoma at No. 14, not getting much love from the voters for their week one win.
POLL ALERT: Florida State drops out of AP Top 25 after 0-2 start, Clemson plunges to No. 25; Texas up to 3 behind Georgia, Ohio State.
