The top five teams retained their rankings in this week's Associated Press college football poll, but Oklahoma gained 130 points on Big Eight rival Nebraska to come within striking range of the No. 1 Cornhuskers.
The 5-0 Sooners narrowed the gap on the defending national champions from 168 points to 38 after whipping Colorado 45-17 last Saturday to merit 18 top votes and 1,008 points from a panel of 55 sports writers and broadcasters.
Nebraska, 6-0 after a 55-0 romp over Kansas, gained 35 first-place votes and garnered 1046 points. The other two top votes went to Michigan, a distant No. 3 with 837 points, and Auburn, No. 5 behind Alabama.
