  "account": "The Oklahoma Sooners, formerly ranked within the top 25 by the AP, have been removed from the list following their victory over the New Mexico Lobos. This win failed to provide any assurance for the Sooners in future performances. The team has been replaced by another upcoming opponent in SEC play: the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Jeff Lebby's squad achieved a win against South Carolina, securing the Bulldogs their second Power Four victory of the season and positioning them at 1-0 for the year. Texas maintains its top position in the nation with 58 first-place votes. Georgia occupies the second spot, with Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and Indiana completing the top five. The SEC dominates the top 10 and 10 within the top 25 in this week's AP poll. With nine games left, Oklahoma will face seven teams currently ranked in the AP Top, beginning with the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs in Athens, Georgia.",
