After dropping two straight, Miami fell out of the top 10 in The Associated Press poll. On the heels of falling to ACC foes Virginia and Clemson in the span of five days, the Hurricanes came in at No. 15 in the most recent rankings, down from No. 8.

Oklahoma didn't just move to the top of the poll, the Sooners are a unanimous No. 1.

Coming off a week with two 2-point wins, the Sooners (15-1) received all 65 first-place votes from the national media panel on Monday. It is Oklahoma's first time at No. 1 since the final two weeks of 1989-90. Kentucky was a unanimous No. 1 for 12 weeks last season.
