Sooners fall at ISU

Oklahoma was announced as the nation's new No. 1 team Monday afternoon at 1:31 ET.

The top-ranked Sooners lost roughly nine hours later.

They can beat anybody and lose whenever.

"Oh baby ... what a game!" Brent Musburger, the iconic ESPN play-by-play announcer, yelled in the final minutes of Monday night's back-and-forth affair between Oklahoma and Iowa State.
