Oklahoma Sooners Football: Sooners hold at No. 5 in AP and Coaches Polls

The Oklahoma Sooners held steady at No. 5 in the latest edition of the AP and Coaches Polls. The rest of the top five all won handily, and the only movement was Georgia and Clemson flipping spots at No. 2-3. The biggest fall of the week came from Wisconsin who dropped from No. 6 all the way to No. 18 following a stunning home loss to BYU.

Elsewhere in the Big 12, Oklahoma State jumped nine spots from No. 24 to No. 15 after a decisive win over Boise State in Stillwater this Saturday. West Virginia jumped two spots to No. 12 despite not playing this week, and TCU fell two spots following its loss to Ohio State.

One thing voters in both polls got correct was not overreacting to Texas’ win over USC. Texas got 12 votes in the AP poll and 9 in the Coaches Poll. Texas is not back, folks.

Here are both polls in their entirety. Big 12 teams in bold.
