NEW YORK (AP) - Oklahoma, where the No. 1 ranking rests again.
The Sooners sit atop the AP Top 25 on Sunday after the first upset-filled weekend of the season gave the media poll a powerful shake. Alabama was both a mover and a shaker, as the Crimson Tide rose to No. 2 after a surprising 41-30 pounding of Georgia.
Previously top-ranked Southern California lost at Oregon State to set the tone for a weekend that brought back memories of the topsy-turvy 2007 season.
On Saturday, two more top-five teams fell. Florida was stunned at home by Mississippi, 31-30. Georgia, which started the season No. 1, was down 31 points by halftime to Alabama and never recovered.
Overall, nine ranked teams lost, six to unranked foes.
The last time such a shake-up occurred? One year ago, when in the last week of September three of the top-five teams fell and seven ranked teams lost to unranked opponents.

ROLL, CRIMSON TIDE, ROLL!!!
Hotty Toddy, gosh almighty......

SOONER!
To be honest I think this is the year Ty Willingham shows the world how badly ND screwed up in firing him. The Huskies will win it all.
I guess there weren't any issues that you considered important 3 days ago.
No matter where you'd go in Norman, just about everything was that red and white. College football REALLY matters in such places.
Go Sooners
Sure, be sure to send me a fancy FReepmail to remind me.
I can agree with those top 2.....
