College football rankings made a history to touch milestone point.The Sooners reached a milestone in the history of The Associated Press college football poll without even playing. Oklahoma became the first team to hold the top ranking 100 times since the poll began 1936.
The Sooners will bring that No. 1 ranking into one of the biggest
nonconference games of the season when they face No. 5 Florida State in
Tallahassee on Saturday.
Oklahoma received 32 first-place votes and 1,441 points from the media
panel.
Alabama reclaimed the No. 2 spot after a 27-11 victory at Penn State,
flip-flopping with No. 3 LSU. Last week, the Tigers jumped the Crimson Tide.
Boise State is No. 4.
Alabama received nine-first-place votes, LSU had 17 and Boise State had two.
The Sooners have been ranked No. 1 in all three polls this season, including
their 10th appearance as No. 1 in the preseason, another record.
Notre Dame is second to OU with 95 overall appearances as the No. 1 team in
the AP poll. Ohio State is next at 94 and Southern California has been No. 1 90
times.
Defending national champion Auburn moved back into the rankings at No. 21
after one of the wildest wins from one of the wildest days in college football
in recent memory.
The Tigers needed a last-second goal line stand to beat Mississippi State
41-34, a week after scoring two touchdowns in the final two minutes to defeat
Utah State. Auburn has the nation’s longest winning streak at 17 games.
Also moving into the rankings this week was No. 22 Arizona State, which beat
Missouri 37-30 in overtime on Friday.
Missouri and Penn State fell out of the Top 25.
