NEW YORK — Oklahoma sat atop the AP top 25 poll Sunday after the first upset-filled weekend of the season gave the media poll a powerful shake. Alabama was both a mover and a shaker, as the red-hot Crimson Tide rose to No. 2 after a 41-30 win at Georgia in an SEC showdown.
Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State to set the tone for a wild weekend. On Saturday, two more top-five teams fell. Florida was stunned at home 31-30 by Mississippi. Georgia, which began the season No. 1, was down 31 points by halftime and never recovered.
Overall, nine ranked teams lost — six to unranked foes.
Oklahoma is No. 1 for the 96th time in the history of the AP poll, breaking a tie with Notre Dame for the most ever. The last time the Sooners were No. 1 was 2003.
