Only Three Big Ten Programs Represented in Latest AP Top 25

It was another exciting weekend of college football action. Oklahoma got the better of their higher ranked rival Texas, and the Sooners have been rewarded with a serious boost in the latest AP Top 25 rankings.

The Sooners have moved into the top 5, coming in at #5 following an impressive win over Texas on Saturday 34-30.

Despite the slew of dramatic finishes and upsets on Saturday, there were not a ton of new teams in the poll.
