After Oklahoma trounced Ohio State 31-16 on Saturday night, the team leapfrogged the Buckeyes again Sunday afternoon, this time in the Associated Press poll.

Oklahoma picked up a pair of first-place votes from Kellis Robinett of the Wichita Eagle and Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News.
So why did Robinett and Wilner put Oklahoma ahead of Alabama?
