It was a heartbreaking loss for the Texas Longhorns on Black Friday. Matt Campbell and Iowa State came into Austin and found a way to win in the fourth quarter. For the second season in a row, the Cyclones won late in the game.
This week saw the Longhorns fall completely out of the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. Texas had only been ranked for three weeks.
Iowa State (No. 12) jumped ahead of Oklahoma (No. 13) to claim themselves as the highest-ranked Big 12 team. The Sooners were scheduled to play West Virginia on Saturday but had to cancel due to COVID-19 complications.
Oklahoma State was a big mover in the poll as well, rising four spots to No. 18. The Cowboys beats Texas Tech by six in Stillwater on Saturday.
