My AP top 25 ballot: Oklahoma moves up to No. 1
There is a new team at the top of my ballot.
Oklahoma took over the No. 1 spot after thrashing Ohio State 31-16 on the road Saturday night. The Sooners were no match for the Buckeyes last season, but this game was very different and showed what new coach Lincoln Riley can accomplish with this group.
Baker Mayfield looked like the Heisman frontrunner throwing for 386 yards and three touchdowns.
Oklahoma also played well on defense, limiting Ohio State to 350 yards.
Winning at Ohio State is the most impressive win any team has pulled off two weeks into this young college football season. For that, Oklahoma deserves to move up in the national polls.
Here is a look at the rest of my ballot:
1. Oklahoma
2. Alabama
3. Clemson
4. USC
5. Penn State
6. Washington
7. Oklahoma State
8. Michigan
9. LSU
10. Louisville
11. Wisconsin
12. Georgia
13. Ohio State
14. Florida State
15. TCU
16. Virginia Tech
17. Kansas State
18. Washington State
19. Tennessee
20. Stanford
21. Miami
22. UCLA
23. Colorado
24. California
25. San Diego State
The Associated Press will release its complete top 25 poll Sunday afternoon.
