WACO, Texas -- The Oklahoma Sooners avoided the same trap that helped them get back to No. 1.

"All of the conditions were right for us to come down here and not play well, not get excited, not bring any energy and for Baylor to play great and beat us," Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford said. "We knew we had to come out and had to play well."

With No. 5 Texas looming next on the schedule, the Sooners still never gave Baylor a chance for an upset.

Bradford threw for 372 yards with two touchdowns, DeMarco Murray ran for two scores and four other Sooners got into the end zone in another lopsided victory over the Bears, 49-17 Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Oklahoma (5-0) this week moved into the No. 1 spot of the AP poll for a record 96th time, but first since 2003, after an upset-filled weekend when the Sooners were the only one of the top four teams to win. They seemed intent on making it 97 after their quick start against Baylor.

Manuel Johnson caught a 53-yard touchdown only 70 seconds into the game for the Sooners' quickest opening score this season. They built a 28-0 lead by the end of the first quarter.

Next week, the Sooners have their traditional second-Saturday-in-October meeting against the Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl -- in the middle of the State Fair of Texas. But they made this trip across the Red River seem more like a glorified practice session.

• No. 2 Alabama 17, Kentucky 14: Atr Tuscaloosa, Ala., Glen Coffee rushed for 218 yards, Leigh Tiffin kicked a 24-yard field goal with 2:12 left and Alabama held on.

Coffee and the Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) mounted a bruising 15-play drive from their own 17-yard line to set up the clinching field goal. Tiffin, who had missed two earlier kicks, drilled this one for a 17-7 lead, and the points proved necessary.

Mike Hartline hit DeMoreo Ford streaking down the right sideline for a 48-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds left for the Wildcats (4-1, 0-1). The onside kick attempt went out of bounds to give Alabama the ball and the game.

• No. 4 Missouri 52, Nebraska 17: At Lincoln, Neb., Missouri 's misery in Lincoln is over.

Chase Daniel threw three touchdown passes, Derrick Washington ran for 139 yards and scored three times and the fourth-ranked Tigers beat overmatched Nebraska for their first road win against the Cornhuskers in 30 years.

The 35-point defeat was the Huskers' most lopsided home loss in 53 years and fifth-worst in Lincoln in the program's 119-year history.

• No. 5 Texas 38, Colorado 14: At Boulder, Colo., Chris Ogbonnaya scored two touchdowns and saved another in Texas' rout.

The oft-overlooked senior running back scored on a 65-yard dump-off and a 13-yard gallop through the befuddled Buffs' defense, then saved a score when he chased down cornerback Jalil Brown at the Texas 16 after a rare interception of Colt McCoy.

• No. 6 Penn State 20, Purdue 6: At West Lafayette, Ind., Evan Royster ran for 141 yards and a touchdown for Penn State, which outgained Purdue 422 to 241 in its last test before next Saturday's showdown at Wisconsin.

Royster also had 53 yards on four catches for the Nittany Lions (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten).

• No. 7 Texas Tech 58, Kansas St. 28: At Manhattan, Kan., Graham Harrell threw six touchdown passes and shattered the Texas Tech record for career yards passing, leading the Red Raiders to an easy win.

Lyle Leong snared three touchdown passes from Harrell, who was 38-for-51 for 454 yards. Texas Tech (5-0, 1-0 Big 12), with its highest ranking in 32 years, scored on seven straight possessions and did not attempt a punt until late in the fourth quarter.

• No. 12 Florida 38, Arkansas 7: At Fayetteville, Ark., Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes, and Jeffrey Demps ran for 103 yards and two long TDs as the Gators rebounded from an upset loss to Ole Miss.

The Gators led 17-7 late in the third quarter when Jerry Franklin picked off Tebow, snapping the Heisman Trophy winner's streak at 203 passes without an interception. The Florida defense held, and Tebow came back to lead his team on an 83-yard touchdown drive to put it away.

• No. 16 Kansas 35, Iowa St. 33: At Ames, Iowa, Todd Reesing threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, and the Jayhawks rallied from a 20-point halftime deficit.

• No. 20 Virginia Tech 27, Western Kentucky 13: At Blacksburg, Va., Darren Evans ran for two touchdowns, quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw for another and the Hokies held on to win.

• No. 21 Oklahoma St. 56, Texas A&M 28: At Stillwater, Okla., Dez Bryant caught three passes for touchdowns and scored another on a punt return, and Oklahoma State took advantage of five first-half turnovers in rolling over Texas A&M.

• North Carolina 38, No. 24 Connecticut 12: At Chapel Hill, N.C., Shawn Draughn rushed for a career-high 109 yards and a touchdown, defensive lineman Marvin Austin returned an interception 23 yards for another score and North Carolina routed Connecticut.

Bruce Carter blocked three punts, Matt Merletti fell on one of them for a touchdown and Draughn's 39-yard touchdown run started the game-breaking sequence that gave the Tar Heels their first win over a ranked team in three years.

Ryan Houston had a 1-yard score and Cameron Sexton threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks for North Carolina (4-1), which overcame some shortcomings on the stat sheet by scoring 21 points off Husky mistakes. UConn outgained the Tar Heels 378-263 and had a 10-minute advantage in time of possession, but couldn't overcome three interceptions by new starter Zach Frazer. Donald Brown, the nation's leading rusher, ran for 161 yards -- 20 below his average -- with a touchdown for the Huskies (5-1).
