Why College Football Fans Won’t Get New AP Rankings on Sunday

The Associated Press (AP) has postponed its Top 25 college football rankings to 2 p.m. Eastern on Monday, Nov. 16, due to the rescheduling of the Ole Miss-Oklahoma game caused by the nationwide flight stoppage. This decision allows AP voters to consider the full slate of games before making their rankings. The delay comes after Oklahoma's women's basketball game against Southern was moved to December, while volleyball and wrestling remained on Sunday but shifted to 6 p.m. Central.

Oklahoma also announced discounted concessions, complimentary hand warmers, and ponchos for fans, as well as free admission for OU students with valid identification. The AP's rankings will not affect the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings, which are produced by a separate selection committee and are scheduled for release on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 9-9:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
