NORMAN, Okla. -- Baker Mayfield passed for 300 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to help No. 11 Oklahoma defeat Baylor 45-24 on Saturday.Sooners coach Bob Stoops said Mayfield is playing better than a year ago, when he finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He said Mayfield has improved as he has become more comfortable with offensive coordinator Lincoln Rileys system and receiver Dede Westbrook.He was fourth in the Heisman last year, so why wouldnt you expect him with another year to be better, Stoops said. Do we expect? Yes, we do. And watching him from a year ago, having a full year under his belt with coach Riley and these other receivers, and the emergence of Dede -- yes, we expect him to be looking like this.The Sooners won their seventh in a row overall and 15th straight in Big 12 play. Joe Mixon had 187 yards from scrimmage and Samaje Perine ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns after missing three games with a pulled muscle in his right leg for Oklahoma (8-2, 7-0 Big 12, No. 9 AP).Baylor (6-3, 3-3; No. 25 AP) had hoped to bounce back after last weeks 62-22 loss to TCU. Instead, the Bears are on their first 3-game losing streak since the middle of the 2012 season.Baylor quarterback Seth Russell severely dislocated his left ankle and was carted off the field with 5:48 left in the third quarter. He passed for 148 yards and ran for 70 before getting injured, but he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.THE TAKEAWAYBaylor: The Bears continued to fall apart. Their collapse started with a loss to Texas, got much worse against TCU, and now, things look bleak with Russell out. Russell missed much of last season with a broken neck. Backup quarterback Zach Smith completed 6 of 15 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. The Bears will need to hope Russells injury isnt as serious as it looked.Oklahoma: Oklahomas defense was solid for the third straight week after giving up 59 points and 854 yards against Texas Tech. The Sooners gave up three points against Kansas, then 24 against Iowa State the next game. Baylor gained 504 yards, but Oklahomas defense forced three critical turnovers. Linebacker Jordan Evans led the way with two sacks and two interceptions.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor: The Bears school-record streak of 60 consecutive AP poll appearances, which Baylor says is the fourth-longest active streak in FBS, will likely end.Oklahoma: The Sooners, who were unranked heading into Big 12 play, could move higher in the AP Top 10 and position themselves to move into the College Football Playoff picture. Oklahoma was 12th in the AP poll at the same point last year.UP NEXTBaylor hosts Kansas State next Saturday.Oklahoma travels to West Virginia next Saturday. The game against the 16th-ranked Mountaineers (No. 11 AP) provides the Sooners a chance to prove themselves against a high quality opponent. E.J. Gaines Jersey . LUCIE, Fla. Kelvin Benjamin Jersey .

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- The Villanova student section had checked their tweets, texts and timelines and saw the score from roughly 630 miles west of campus that had as much of an impact on them as the latest victory a few feet in front of them.Kentucky lost -- a game and its grip as the No. 1 team in nation.No. 1! No. 1! No. 1Villanova coach Jay Wright heard the chant. He glanced at the scoreboard for an update, and when there was nothing on the screen for UCLA-Kentucky, he simply thought it was something else.Think again.The national champion Wildcats are set to become the No. 1 Wildcats.Josh Hart had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double and led No. 2 Villanova to an 88-57 victory over Saint Josephs on Saturday.Top-ranked Kentuckys 97-92 loss to No. 11 UCLA on Saturday means the defending national champion Wildcats should slide into the top spot in the next AP Top 25 poll.Villanova hit No. 1 for the first time in program history for three weeks last season.Its something to deal with, Wright said. Last year, we really didnt know what to do about it.Well, winning the programs second national title was a pretty good solution.Villanova (8-0) is again on the short list of teams that should contend for a national championship. No team has gone back-to-back since Florida in 2006 and 2007.Anchored by seniors Hart and Kris Jenkins, Wright built this program to last deep into the NCAA Tournament. Hart, the preseason Big East player of the year, continued to shine as one of the best players in the nation. Hart hit three 3s and made 6 of 10 shots from the field overall en route to what was believed to be Villanovas first triple-double since Harold Pressley in 1986.Hes so complete in every way, Wright said. Hes the best competitor out there. Hes on the team with Kris and hes one of the best shooters. Hes a great decision maker. And, hes our best defensive player.Hart could soon be the best player on the best team in the country.We were No. 1 last year, so we know thats a possibility, Hart said. But I dont think theres a crazy difference between 1, 2, 3, 4, 25, this early in the year.ddddddddddddJenkins made four 3s and scored 20 points for the Wildcats. Villanova made 16 of 34 3-point attempts; 8 of 17 in each half.Villanova closed the first half on a 20-4 run and won its 16th straight Big 5 game against Philly-based teams La Salle, Penn, Drexel, Temple and the Hawks.Lamarr Kimble led the Hawks (3-4) with 15 points and Markell Lodge had 10 rebounds.The plan was to have them go over the top of us not through us, Hawks coach Phil Martelli said.BIG PICTURESAINT JOSEPHS: The Hawks have followed a 3-0 start with a four-game losing streak. They lost only eight games last season. The Hawks havent beat Villanova since Dec. 17, 2011, and they fell to 3-10 against AP Top 25 teams over the last three seasons.VILLANOVA: The Wildcats played without guard Phil Booth for the fifth straight game. Booth has tendinitis in his left knee and the Wildcats will not rush him back. Booth watched the Wildcats win their 42nd straight game at the Pavilion. The Wildcats sold out their 172nd straight game at their on-campus arena.POLL IMPLICATIONSVillanova, which had 20 first-place votes last week, will be No. 1 on Monday.BIG 5Martelli said Villanovas city dominance hasnt soured enthusiasm for the Big 5. But the 2004 AP coach of the year would like to see some changes to the round-robin format.Why dont we block out 2 1/2 weeks, he said. If we block this out, after those exempt tournaments, lets take those two weeks and call it `Philadelphia Basketball and get everyone of us to commit to playing games on different nights. We have to fight this. This is a treasure weve all been given to care take.UP NEXTSaint Josephs plays Dec. 11 at Drexel to cap a stretch of three straight Big 5 games.The Wildcats play Tuesday against La Salle at the Palestra.-----More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
