A 44-17 win against No. 20 Florida State has propelled Oklahoma up the AP Poll ranks to No. 7, a position held in the pre-season poll prior to the Sooners toe-stubbing performance against Utah State a week ago.
The Sooners leaped fellow Big 12 team the Nebraska Cornhuskers and come within 27 votes of No. 6 Texas.
