It was definite that Oklahoma would fall a bit in the AP Poll after two tough losses last week.

However, things still look good for the Sooners.

They landed at No. 15 in the latest AP Poll, dropping just six spots from last week. The Sooners are one of eight Big 12 teams ranked inside the top 25 — Kansas (No. 3), Houston (No. 5), Baylor (No. 9), TCU (No. 19), BYU (No. 20), Iowa State (No. 24) and Texas Tech (No. 25).

The ranking comes after a tough two-game stretch last week for the Sooners, which included losses at TCU (80-71) and at No. 3 Kansas (78-66) on Saturday. The Sooners now sit at 13-3 on the season and 1-2 in Big 12 play.

However, this week provides an opportunity for the Sooners to get back on track. It starts with a home date against West Virginia (6-10) on Wednesday (7 p.m. ESPN+) before traveling to Cincinnati (12-4) on Saturday (12 p.m. ESPN+). However, no wins are easy in the Big 12 — the Mountaineers defeated Texas 79-75 on Saturday, while the Bearcats have a win on the road against No. 20 BYU.
