Sooners Up To #3 In Latest Polls

After an impressive season debut the Sooners have moved up three spots in the Amway Coaches and AP Top 25 polls. Led by Spencer Rattler’s 290 yard/4 touchdown performance Oklahoma dismantled Missouri State 48-0 on Saturday night. However, the bump in this week’s poll has less to do with Missouri State and is more a result of the Big 10 and Pac 12 not being included in the polls this week.
