Sooners start at No. 19 in AP Pre-season Poll
Sportswriters put Oklahoma at No. 19 in the Associated Press’ annual preseason Top 25 released Sunday.
The ranking is the Sooners’ lowest preseason AP standing since 2000, when OU also checked in at No. 19 to begin the second season of the Bob Stoops era.
