Oklahoma drops to 21st in coaches poll following loss to Michigan
Summary

The Oklahoma Sooners fell to No. 21 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll released on September 13, 2026, following a 17-10 road loss to the Michigan Wolverines. Oklahoma struggled offensively in Ann Arbor, failing to generate 300 total yards and converting only three of 13 third-down attempts. The defeat pushed the team down from its previous ranking of No. 10. Texas moved into the top spot of the poll after a come-from-behind victory against Ohio State. Oklahoma now prepares for a game against New Mexico before facing consecutive matchups against Georgia and in the Red River Showdown. The coaching staff faces pressure to address offensive production as the team enters a critical stretch of its schedule.
