The Sooners (7-1, 4-1), coming off a 51-14 thrashing of Kansas State, benefited from the loss by previous-No. 6 Texas to Oklahoma State on Saturday night and moved up one position in both the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll.
Oklahoma is back where it began the season. The Sooners were ranked seventh in the 2018 Associated Press preseason poll. They started out No. 5 in the Coaches Poll. After losing to Texas in Week 6, however, OU dropped to 11th in both polls, and has been slowly working its way back up since then.
