The Oklahoma Sooners dropped two spots in the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. It’s been an up and down start to SEC play for the Sooners, who sit at 2-2 in conference play and 13-3 overall.
Last week, the Sooners were upset by unranked Mississippi State but bounced back with a big win over Texas A&M. Now the Sooners prepare for a Thursday evening showdown with another former Big 12 foe when they host the Missouri Tigers. That comes before a big-time matchup with the defending national champion South Carolina Gamecocks on Sunday in Columbia.
The Sooners now sit at No. 13 in the nation in the latest coaches poll after their two-spot drop. They were one-loss TCU and Kentucky who moved up to No. 11 and 12.
The UCLA Bruins remain at the top of the poll with their undefeated record leading the way. South Carolina comes in at No. 2, followed by Notre Dame, LSU, and USC.
The Sooners are one of seven teams in the top 20 and one of six inside the top 15. Here’s a look at the latest USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
