Oklahoma Sooners move up in latest AP Top 25 after big wins

The Oklahoma Sooners are currently riding a five-game winning streak with two games remaining in the regular season. Their latest win was a 40-point thrashing of the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, following a 20-point win over Vanderbilt.

Entering the final week of the regular season, the Oklahoma Sooners moved up to No. 13 in the latest AP Poll. They climbed three spots from last week. Now just outside of the top 10, the Sooners have a chance to earn a top-16 seed in the NCAA tournament, which would allow Oklahoma to host the first two rounds the tournament.

There’s a new No. 1 at the top of the poll as the Texas Longhorns took the top spot from the UCLA Bruins this week, earning 19 of a possible 31 votes. UCLA drops to No. 2 this week, followed by Notre Dame, USC, and UConn to round out the top five.

The Oklahoma Sooners close the season with a road game against Florida and then they’ll host No. 20 Alabama to close the regular season.
