Oklahoma jumps to No. 8 in AP Poll after historic comeback

After the largest come-from-behind win in school history, Oklahoma vaulted ahead of Penn State to move to No. 8 in the AP Poll.

After the largest come-from-behind win in school history, Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) vaulted ahead of Penn State to move to No. 8 in the AP Poll.

After one of the worst first halves in recent history, Oklahoma’s College Football Playoff pursuit seemed out-of-sight, until a 25-point comeback sent the Baylor Bears home with their first loss of the season. 

The top five all won their respective matches, the closest being No. 4 Georgia’s 21-14 win over Auburn, sending the Tigers to No. 16. The Bulldogs clinched the SEC East with the win.

Minnesota was the only top ten team to lose on Saturday. The now No. 11 Golden Gophers lost 23-19 to Iowa, who moved from No. 20 to No. 19.

Next week, the top-ranked game will be between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 9 Penn State. 

Next Saturday, the Sooners will host TCU at 7 p.m. in their final home game of the season. The game will be broadcasted on FOX.
