Tulsa World - Oklahoma starts the college football preseason ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25. It's the 10th time the Sooners are No. 1 in the preseason poll, but the program's first time since 2003 to open a season at the top. Oklahoma received 36 of 60 first-place votes and got 1,464 poll points, just ahead of No. 2 Alabama, which got 17 first-place votes and 1,439 points.
No. 3 Oregon received four first-place votes, No. 4 LSU received one and No. 5 Boise State got two. Oklahoma State is ranked No. 9, just behind No. 8 Texas A&M. Nebraska is No. 10 and Missouri No. 21. Texas is unranked in the preseason for the first time since 1998. Florida State, the Sooners' second opponent on Sept. 17 in Tallahassee, is No. 6. That's Seminoles' highest preseason ranking since 2004 when they opened at No. 5. The Sooners and Crimson Tide also rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the USA Today Coaches Top 25, released two weeks ago. The coaches poll is one of three components in the Bowl Championship Rankings, which will debut in October. The AP crowns its own champion, and its top 25 is not part of the BCS system.
