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.

I must have missed the part of the GOP platform where it said conservatives weren’t allowed to have fun or discuss mutual interests unrelated to politics.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

The only significant roadblocks left for Alabama is the game at LSU on November 8, 2008. I don't see Tennessee as a good team this year, and since the Iron Bowl game is at Tuscaloosa this year, I doubt that Auburn can win this rivalry game.

It’s still crimson and white all over Oklahoma City today!
Most loyal sports town I’ve ever seen.

You ever been to Oklahoma?
To: Coldwater Creek
Yup. I’ve been to Oklahoma. Spent the night there a few times, but it was always in the summertime. Would love to visit during football season. Very hospitable people on every visit. :)

Bama and OU look awfully good so far, but no doubt this will continue to be a crazy season. It’ll be exciting to see if anyone can run the table.

The polls are silly, especially this early in the year.
Regular season polls are misleading at best because they are based on preseason polls. Ranking teams before they've played is ludicrous.

The FWIW #1 team is getting College GameDay this Saturday! Vandy's on the national scene!
Good for Vandy. They deserve some attention although they won't be the FWIW #1 on Thursday. Stay tuned.

I am joking with you that teams all across the country have great fan bases.
