After three consecutive wins in three consecutive weeks the Oklahoma Sooners find themselves ranked in a different spot in the AP Poll for the third consecutive time. The slide was only minimal this week, after moving forward three spots last week the Sooners moved backwards one spot this week. Its also interesting to note that if the poll extended out then Air Force would have been ranked 26th and Florida State 29th this week. I say that so those of you that are quite uncomfortable after three weeks can see that Oklahoma hasn't been playing a "Sisters of the Poor" type schedule.
