Oklahoma became the third team this season to take the top spot in the Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll after receiving 15 first-place votes from college coaches around the country.
Last year’s NCAA runners-up have finished second, first, second in three starts so far this fall. That moved them ahead of Oklahoma State, which topped the previous coaches poll. Pepperdine, the defending national champion, debuted in the No. 1 spot in the preseason poll.
