Oklahoma (1-0) climbed from No. 9 to No. 7 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll on Tuesday.

The Sooners are coming off a 45-13 win over UTEP in Norman last Saturday, where quarterback Dillon Gabriel passed for 233 yards with three total touchdowns. The game was also Brent Venables' first as head coach.

Fellow Big 12 teams Baylor and Oklahoma State were ranked nine and 12, respectively. Texas and Kansas State also received votes, but were not placed.

OU rose past Utah and Notre Dame, who both lost last week. 

Oklahoma plays Kent State at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, in Norman.
