The AP Poll has been released following the wild week nine over the weekend. The Oklahoma State Cowboys were the highest ranked team to fall but the Michigan Wolverines loss to Michigan State was also a big shock to some. Texas didn’t find themselves in the Amway Coaches Poll this week but the AP Poll is a different animal entirely.
The Big 12 Conference’s highest ranked team remains the Oklahoma State Cowboys who check in at No. 14. Next in the pecking order comes Iowa State, Oklahoma then Texas. The Kansas State Wildcats dropped from the poll after West Virginia pummeled them 37-10.
