Yermom, I think that's actually the USA Today Poll. I know Yahoo has it listed as the AP Poll, but if you go to USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/usatpoll.htm), and AP (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/COLLEGEFOOTBALL_25?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME), the poll Yahoo has listed is identical (points and all) to the USA Today poll, and the new AP Poll isn't out yet.

So, Oklahoma has another huge game next week against #11 Missouri. Go Sooners!.

[The_Red_Patriot]

When will Ohio St lose???

[Wishboned]

I thought it would be South Carolina instead of Oregon in the 8 spot.

[StormySooner-IN]

Notre Dame has 6 votes................






















NOT. :P

yep... silly Yahoo!

i was trying to figure out how they could possible tie in both polls.. i didn't look close enough

AP has more than 60 pollsters, thus the #1 votes don't match

[Indy Sooner]

OU is #6 in the new AP poll.

Yermom...CBS Sports did the samething.

I went on their site and the Coaches poll was listed as the AP poll at first. I came here to post it, and saw the other posts.

Went back to CBS and both polls were exactly the same. Few minutes later it was fixed.

[r5TPsooner]

If OU takes care of Mizzou next week, we will trump at least one of the teams in front of us.

[Jewstin]

Yeah ... #5 in coaches, #6 in AP.

Not bad. ;)

[boomrsoonr]

I'll take 6th. Do NOT want to be #5.

Michigan, WVU, and Wisconsin have all been #5 and look what happened!! I'll be perfectly happy being #6 until the final poll where we move up to #1. ;)

[illinisooner]

USC is too high.

[PLaw]

A lot of volatility in the poll.

I thought SUC should be lower

If OSU runs the table and Cal beats SUC, then there is your BCS game.

BOOMER

[Ash]

That's pretty much the what I expected.

[TopDaugIn2000]

wait.....I don't see the greatest offense in the world listed......am I overlooking something???

[Ground_Attack]

USC is too high.

what are you talking about??? aren't they the best team of all-time?

[LittleWingSooner]

USC is too high in both polls but 10 is more right than 7th. They shouldn't be a top 10 team right now.

[MextheBulldog]

USC is too high.

They keep playing like they did last night and this will not be an issue.:pop:

[cheezyq]

USC is too high.

Exactly what I (and probably every other Sooner here) is thinking. We lost on the road in Colorado (2-2 at the time, 4-2 now) on the last play, including a few controversial replays, and the condoms lose at home to 1-3 Stanford with the benefit of a home-cooked Pac-10 crew. But, USC is USC, so they'll always get the benefit of a friendly media.

[Blues1]

IF everything goes Normal Like in the Old Days..?? - :) - We Win out...?? - Michigan beats Osu - ?? - usc beats Cal....?? - Boston College and South Florida go Down..?? - We End Number up at number #3 ---Too Many Question Marks - No matter what --- We Got to have LSU Go Down to have a Chance at the National Championship...Unless you see it some other way..??

Keep R'

[tnraider1]

They shouldn't be a top 10 team right now.

But Mizzou should be.

[LittleWingSooner]

If USC beats Cal and wins the rest of their games they will jump OU. I wish it weren't true but it is.

Yep -- thats why I said we end up at Number 3....... :(

[85sooners]

:pop:

[LittleWingSooner]

Yep -- thats why I said we end up at Number 3....... :(

It would be better if Cal loses to a bad team and beats USC. That gives us a better shot. That's also why I wanted LSU to lose because that would put them right there. OU could have ended up number 2 if LSU loses one more game by chance. Right now I'm not sure if LSU will lose a game and even if they lose one game they will end up in the NC game.

[BuffVisitor]

You could be us. Texas is still ranked, and we're in the Others Receiving Votes category after Wyoming, even though the two teams that beat us are in the top 20. Agree that Mizzou should be higher ranked than they are. Anyway, I still think you guys run the table and hopefully get your shot.

[oupride]

When will Ohio St lose???
Ohio St might not lose.

[Blues1]

WHAT IF ---- South Florida to Play Boston College for The National Championship --- Would ANYONE Really Believe those are the Best Two Teams in the Country...??? God Helps us ..... :)

[tnraider1]

The BCS would crumble.

[LittleWingSooner]

I hope USF and BC play, it would almost make it to where we gotta have a playoff. But with the biased views of the polls a one loss LSU or OU or USC will be in that NC game. Just shows how unfair those systems are.

[SoonerBOI]

USC is way overrated.

[UTsucks]

The better question IS do you think this OU team can beat LSU in New Orleans? I say not a chance in hell WAY to much speed. Flame on!

[Blues1]

I think everyone on this Board would probably Not Like our Chances -- But we will take it IF it comes down to that...... :)

[SoonerGM]

as dominating as LSU should be, and as physcially scary as they look, they keep scraping by. i blame less for that. as long as he is the coach of that program, anyone has a chance against them.

[boomersooner28]

When will Ohio St loose???


fixed


:D

[swardboy]

WHAT IF ---- South Florida to Play Boston College for The National Championship --- Would ANYONE Really Believe those are the Best Two Teams in the Country...??? God Helps us ..... :)

I'd have something better to do than watch THAT game...like, I dunno....clip my toenails.....

[kevpks]

Check out some of the individual voters in the AP. The dude from the Tulsa world doesn't think much of us.

His Missouri vote is money. Don't know why he thinks South Florida and Kentucky are better than we are. Maybe he knows what we know . . . Saxet Sucks.

That ballot is just hilarious. Why doesn't he just put the whole SEC at the top?

[cheezyq]

Wow. I've never seen the individual poll votes before. It just shows how awful this system is. Blatant homerism on the part of some of these guys. I'm glad the AP isn't part of the BCS anymore, but it still emphasizes the need for a playoff.

[limey_sooner]

Wow, highest ranked team with a loss. Can't complain about that.

[stoopified]

USC is too high in both polls but 10 is more right than 7th. They shouldn't be a top 10 team right now.
True dat.

[Octavian]

I know they're both undefeated and we can't gripe since we lost...but OU would beat the hell outta both Boston College and South Florida.

Thanks for link.

Even though you have to play the games and prove it on the field. I concur.

[StormySooner-IN]

I know they're both undefeated and we can't gripe since we lost...but OU would beat the hell outta both Boston College and South Florida.I was thinking about this too; your right, Spek.

[r5TPsooner]

Tickets may be harder to get for the Mizzou game than they were were for Miami.

We need to have the stadium rockin on Saturday night for the team.

[josh09]

This makes me sick.....

We can beat #'s 2-5, im sure of it.

[Sooner02]

USC is too high in both polls but 10 is more right than 7th. They shouldn't be a top 10 team right now.
USC should be anywhere from 15-20. They are definitely NOT top10 quality.

[Doged]

Number 5 in the Harris, too.

[Big Red Ron]

The AP can suck it. They are the reason we don't have a playoff. I know, the President's don't want it but if the media started the drum beat...

I thought the media was supposed to report the news, not become the news. Them having an AP NC is akin to them selecting a second President of the US. It's effin stupid. If we ever get named AP NC during the BCS era, I hope we tell them thanks but no thanks.

BTW - This OU vs. UT game was the best I can remember in a loooong time. I love seeing those smug bastards walk out of the Cotton Bowl staring at the ground.
