The Associated Press announced its official preseason top-25 poll at 11 a.m. this morning and Oklahoma found itself where it finished last season. Inside the top-four.

Defending  National Champion Clemson was picked as the top team in the country, returning a myriad of talented offensive weapons. The Tigers bring back sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence, junior running back Travis Etienne and stud sophomore receiver Justyn Ross.

The four-time defending ACC champs are at a staggering 2/1 odds via sportsbook.ag.

The same sports book has the Sooners tied with Ohio State with 14/1 odds, good for a tie for fourth in the country.

Lincoln Riley named Alabama transfer Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterback after a fall camp battle with Tanner Mordecai and Spencer Rattler. Hurts is surrounded by one of the deepest skill position groups in the country, including Kennedy Brooks and Trey Sermon in the backfield and a receiving corps that features CeeDee Lamb.

Among the other highlights of the poll are Red River rival Texas coming in at 10 and Iowa State at 21.
