Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt updates his top 10 after Week 8; Where are the Sooners?

Where did the Oklahoma Sooners land in Joel Klatt’s top 10 after week 8?

Week 8 has come and gone, and we’ve passed the halfway point of the 2023 college football season. It’s been a wild season, but this week, several top 10 teams got away with a win.

Only two teams in Joel Klatt’s top 10 from a week ago suffered a loss. One was Penn State, which took on another top 10 team, Ohio State. The other was North Carolina, which was beaten by a Virginia team that came into the game with just one win.

After another incredible weekend of college football, let’s take a look at Joel Klatt’s top 10 after Week 8’s action.

Almost made the cut

Alabama, Oregon State, Notre Dame and Ole Miss.

Three Stars: Dillon Gabriel shines bright and leads the way as Sooners dispatch of Iowa State

Oklahoma dominated Iowa State. Take a look at our three-stars from the game.

Oklahoma is one win away from matching their entire win total from last year. If they win their next game, the dialogue about what this Oklahoma team can achieve this year may shift significantly.

Next up is a game against their rivals, Texas. But that game wouldn’t mean nearly as much if they laid an egg against Iowa State.

The Sooners won decisively, beating the Cyclones 50-20 in front of a packed-out Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Saturday night.

The game never felt out of the Sooners’ control despite a couple of busts in coverage leading to two Iowa State touchdowns. Those two touchdowns allowed the Cyclones to cut the Sooners lead to one at 21-20. But with about nine minutes left in the second quarter, the Sooners took control of the game.

Oklahoma reeled off 29 unanswered points to put the game to bed.

The passing offense continues to hum, and while Gabriel didn’t complete 90 percent of his passes, he looked in command and played with an edge on Saturday night.

The defense pitched a second-half shutout and cleaned up some costly miscues that led to scores in the first half.

Here are this week’s 3 Stars from the win.
