Oklahoma No. 1, 'Bama No. 2 in AP Poll

Upset weekend No. 1 caused a lot of change in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Nevertheless, it should come as no surprise that the Oklahoma Sooners moved to No. 1 and the Alabama Crimson Tide to No. 2 in the poll released Sunday.

Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State on Thursday.

But it got worse on Saturday when Florida lost at home to Ole Miss 31-30 and the highly-ballyhooed Georgia Bulldogs were manhandled by the young Crimson Tide.

Georgia was down by 31 points in the first half as Dogs’ fans sat on their hands in the stands wearing their black attire for the scheduled “Black Out.”

Overall, nine ranked teams lost, six to unranked foes.

The AP reports that the last time this type change occurred was a year ago in the last week of September when three of the top-five teams fell and seven ranked teams lost to unranked opponents.

Oklahoma is No. 1 for the 96th time in the history of the AP poll, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most ever.
