Sooners drop a spot in Coaches Poll

[OUHoops]

OU is now 17th. Looks like they were jumped by Ohio State, who moved up two spots from 17th to 15th.

what did you expect? wins over power programs like Alcorn State and James Madison will boost anyone in the rankings... I can't wait until we beat ULM and VCU and are #2 next week!!!

I actually would prefer to be ranked lower so the team can learn and grow together without the pressure of trying to protect a high ranking.

Seriously... the polls this early in the season are virtually meaningless other than for something for the media to toss around during broadcasts of games to hear themselves speak. Things won't really start being sorted out until at least January as it is every season.

The freshmen are going to continue to develop, Capel is going to work on the teams defense, and come March we are going to be sitting pretty with a nice seed in the NCAA tournament.
