The USA Today and Associated Press released their polls on Tuesday, and the Sooners have fallen to No. 13 and No. 14, respectively, after their loss to Houston. The Cougars have moved to No. 6 in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the Coaches Poll, and deservedly so.

The most eye-popping part of all of this is obviously Texas’ No. 11 ranking in the AP Poll after being unranked in the preseason poll. And I kind of get it - you shouldn’t let your preseason prediction hold too much weight after you’ve actually seen a team in action. But No. 11? Not too sure about that one, guys. Some of you are likely saying that Texas is getting special treatment from the media for being Texas, and you may have a legitimate gripe (especially when you look at the ranking disparity between the two polls). I for one believe media members are just as prone to being slaves of the moment as the average fan, so I'd just chalk it up to that.
As far as OU is concerned, the drop isn’t too bad. I mean, look at what happened to LSU!
