No upsets mean not much movement within the top of the rankings this week. Alabama looked shaky and almost went down but otherwise just South Florida suffered a loss. The Oklahoma Sooners won impressively and picked up additional first place votes heading into their match-up against the good guys. The Longhorns stayed at number five in both polls but did lose a few points in the USA Today Coaches Poll, despite easily handling a solid conference opponent.
