My AP Top 25 ballot this week

Oklahoma's the obvious No. 1, and I assume most other voters will agree come tomorrow afternoon. A lot of other changes, as numerous losses dotted much of last week's Top 25. Makes figuring out a ballot a lot more difficult -- and a lot more fun.

As for No. 25, always like to reserve a space for one of the little guys. And Little Rock has won at San Diego State and at Tulsa (which, as UConn learned last week, isn't easy). It's only loss has been to a pretty good Texas Tech team, also on the road. So there.
