NEW YORK (AP) - Oklahoma, where the No. 1 ranking rests again.
The Sooners sit atop the AP Top 25 on Sunday after the first upset-filled weekend of the season gave the media poll a powerful shake. Alabama was both a mover and a shaker, as the Crimson Tide rose to No. 2 after a surprising 41-30 pounding of Georgia.
Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State to set the tone for a weekend that brought back memories of the topsy-turvy 2007 season.
On Saturday, two more top-five teams fell. Florida was stunned at home by Mississippi, 31-30. Georgia, which started the season No. 1, was down 31 points by halftime to Alabama and never recovered.
Overall, nine ranked teams lost, six to unranked foes.
The last time such a shake-up occurred? One year ago, when in the last week of September three of the top-five teams fell and seven ranked teams lost to unranked opponents.

The polls are silly, especially this early in the year.

Damn, my dawgs were pathetic. My dad and I went from yelling at the TV to just being thoroughly disgusted. To come out so flat for such a big game, after Florida loses 3 hours prior, is just inexcusable. I’m still mad!!!

If TTU can get past UT on Nov 1, then you have to wonder if they’re a real player for that football shaped Waterford crystal in January. Remind me to watch a Tech game this year so I don’t sound like a complete moron to our FR TTU Contingent. :)
