NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma continued its climb back to the top of the polls. The Sooners were No. 4 in the AP, Coaches and Harris polls released Sunday afternoon.

OU (6-1 overall, 2-1 Big 12) dealt previously undefeated and then-No. 11 Missouri a 41-31 loss at Owen Field Saturday night. The Tigers (5-1) dropped to a tie with Kansas (6-0) at No. 15 in the AP poll and No. 17 in the Coaches poll. The Sooners received one first-place vote in the AP poll.

Half of the Big 12 Conference teams were ranked in the AP Top 25 including Oklahoma (4), Kansas (15), Missouri (15), Texas (19), Texas Tech (22) and Kansas State (25). K-State was the only team of the group not also ranked in the Coaches poll (No. 30 in votes).
