There's a new college football AP Top 25 poll out and not every ranking makes sense. JustinM_NFL discusses 4 teams ranked too high or too low in the newest Top 25. CFB | Sooners | GoUtes | GoVols | GoPokes
has reacted appropriately and adjusted its top 25 rankings. We’ve swiftly identified four teams that were ranked too high or low in the new AP Top 25 poll.The Sooners eventually cruised to a straightforward 33-3 victory over Kent State on Saturday, but Brent Venables’ squad was sleepwalking through the first half, leading just 7-3 at the break. A stronger opponent would have made Oklahoma pay for their sluggish start.
Things become considerably difficult from there. An upcoming contest against an underrated Kansas State team threatens to expose Oklahoma as overrated. The Wildcats defeated Missouri 40-12 in Week 1 and are allowing six points per contest following a 34-0 shutout over South Dakota in Week 2. Texas also visits Norman in late October. Oklahoma isn’t a top-six program in the nation.Utah actually dropped a spot despite defeating Southern Utah 73-7 on Saturday.
The Utes will host San Diego State in Week 3. It qualifies as an intriguing revenge opportunity for Kyle Whittingham’s surging squad. The Aztecs defeated Utah in a triple-overtime instant-classic affair last season. Utah responded by rounding off nine victories in their next 10 en route to a Rose Bowl appearance. The Utes always seem to play San Diego State at the opportune moment. We expect Utah to catapult itself back toward the top 10 sooner rather than later.
The Volunteers will host the Gators on Sept. 24. It will arguably represent the most intense contest at Neyland Stadium in several campaigns. The Gators were brought back to reality during Saturday’s 10-point defeat to Kentucky following their Week 1 surprise upset over Utah. Tennessee will play LSU and Alabama in October following Florida. Victories over Akron, Florida, and LSU would have the Volunteers flirting with top-10 status heading into the Alabama measuring stick.
Next Saturday’s contest against Arkansas-Pine Bluff is a routine tuneup for the soon-to-be 3-0 Cowboys. Quarterback
