USA TODAY Coaches poll. They now sit at No. 14.

Any of the teams that were ranked in the Top 17 last week can thank Stanford for their move up the poll. The Cardinals dropped out of the Top 10, from No. 9 to No. 18, pushing everyone from No. 1 to No. 17 up a spot (and the rankings from last weekend from No. 1 through 17 stayed the same besides Standford’s drop).

The Sooners’ next opponent, Texas Tech, also joined the Top 25 for the first time this season. The Red Raiders are ranked No. 24.

Other Big 12 members include No. 8 Kansas State, No. 9 Texas, No. 7 West Virginia, and No. 13 TCU. Those teams are all 4-0.

Both Oklahoma State and Baylor dropped out of the poll from last week.

  USA poll has no more credit than Phil Steele.

  If OU can avoid playing any more games maybe they could get back into the top 10. This is a very average team that seems over rated at anything above maybe an honorable mention. Since the defense has shown they can't stop anybody when they have too the offense will have to score a touchdown every time they get the ball against Baylor and WVA. With this offense that isn't going to happen. That is two more losses right there.
