Sooners Inching Closer In BlogPoll

Oklahoma moved up a spot this week in the BlogPoll after completely dismantling Kansas on Owen Field last Saturday night. The move pits Oklahoma vs. Notre Dame this weekend as a #8 vs. #5 match-up and opens the possibility for both teams to move up with a win.

Kansas State also moved up a spot to #3, making them the highest ranked Big 12 team. The Wildcats are followed by Oklahoma and then Texas Tech (#13) and West Virginia (#25). How the Mountaineers stayed in the Top 25 after getting blown out in back-to-back weeks is beyond me.

Here's this week's poll, along with how I voted for each team.
