Tulsa Football Moves into Associated Press Top-25 for its First AP Ranking since 2010

NEW YORK, NY –– Following Tulsa's 28-24 win over SMU Saturday night the Golden Hurricane moved into 25^th place on the Associated Press' top-25 rankings, it was released on Sunday.

The ranking for Tulsa is the first in the AP poll since ending the 2010 season ranked 24^th nationally. Before that, Tulsa was ranked in the AP poll for three weeks during the 2008 campaign. In addition, Tulsa did end the 2012 season ranked 25^th in the USA Today Coaches poll.

On Saturday, the Hurricane came back from a 21-point first-half deficit to hand the Mustangs, ranked 19^th in the AP poll, only its second loss of the season.

Tulsa has now accomplished a feat never before done in school history by defeating two top-25 teams in the same season. Earlier this year, Tulsa went to Orlando, Fla., and came back from 18 points down for a 34-26 win over the 11^th-ranked UCF Knights.

The Hurricane has only 4 days to prepare for a Thursday night home game against the Tulane Green Wave. The contest will kick-off at 6:30 p.m. (CT) from H.A. Chapman Stadium and aired on ESPN.
