SGU moves up one spot to No. 3. The Cavaliers are now 19-3 overall and are the team that gave OCU its only loss so far this season.
Oklahoma City has now been ranked in 114 consecutive polls, which is the longest active streak. St. Gregory’s has been in 41 straight, a streak that is fourth-longest currently.
