College football: Sooners up to No. 3, Cowboys rise to No. 11 in AP poll

There's usually not a lot of movement in the Associated Press poll after a weekend where just one ranked team lost.

But this isn't most seasons.

The AP poll had a major shakeup Sunday, including OU moving up two spots to No. 3 and OSU four spots to No. 11.

Most of the shakeup was due to teams who are not playing this season — teams from the Big Ten, Pac 12 and Mountain West — dropping from the poll.

That cleared room for plenty of new faces — Memphis at No. 16 followed by other newcomers Miami, Louisville, Louisiana-Lafayette, Virginia Tech, BYU, Army, Kentucky, Appalachian State and Pittsburgh.
