Poll Report: Oklahoma Back on the Move up the AP Poll After Notching Pair of Big 12 Wins

Victories over West Virginia and Cincinnati have the Sooners moving back up the AP Poll this week with tilts against Texas and Texas Tech looming.

A bounce back week led to a bounce in the AP Poll for Oklahoma.

After dropping two straight road games to TCU and Kansas, Porter Moser’s Sooners stabilized.

A home victory over West Virginia paired with a scrappy road win at Cincinnati has OU sitting at 15-3 overall and in a five-way tie for second in the Big 12 at 3-2.

The pair of victories saw Oklahoma move up four spots to No. 11 in this week’s poll, which was released on Monday.

As is always the case in Big 12 play, this week will bring no reprieve.

The Sooners have two big chances to protect their home floor, with Texas and Texas Tech both visiting the Lloyd Noble Center.

The Longhorns rebounded from last Wednesday’s head-scratching defeat with late heroics to outlast Baylor 75-73 in Austin, and No. 20 Texas Tech is tied with Kansas State atop the league sitting at 4-1 in conference play.

Texas is up first on Tuesday at 6 p.m. on ESPN before the Red Raiders visit Norman at 1 p.m. on Saturday, with the weekend tilt scheduled to air on ESPN+.
