OU and Texas will definitely be in the top 25 this next week. Nebraska had an impressive series, sweeping Alabama at home even without their best pitcher in Joba Chamberlain. Their sweep over Alabama also makes the Big 12 8-2 against the usually overrated SEC.

A&M and Missouri will be out of the top 25. Missouri has been the most disappointing team so far in the Big 12 (Texas isn't far behind, but Texas has shown a lot of improvement from week one at least) and A&M was by far the most disappointing team this weekend. They went from taking 2 of 3 at Florida to losing four straight to four bad teams.

Well find out how good we are this next weekend when we travel to arizona state. With bayor and texas coming to norman the following two weekends, were going to find alot out about this OU team here real soon.

A&M sure seemed to take a pounding. How volatile are these rankings at this point? Seems this week would be enough to knock them out of most rankings.

Glad we're having such a nice start up to this point although I still wish we had one more win under our belt against a certain team....

OU came in at #23 in the new top 25.

guild, we play Arizona State here on Tuesday. They also played Baylor earlier in the year and Tech a few weeks ago. They should just go ahead and join the Big 12.

Nice sweep by Nebraska against Alabama. These guys have a great program going in Lincoln.
