Let’s get real about how good Texas looks through two games. The Longhorns are a top four team in college football according the Associated Press, and it has earned every bit of that ranking.
Admittedly, it’s a long season and there’s plenty of football left to play. We understand that. We also understand Texas has far and away the most impressive win of the season through two games. And it might stay that way.
Joel Klatt took notice of the win and doesn’t think it’s a fluke. He had the following to say about how impressive Saturday’s win was for Texas.
“The reason this is not just Ole Miss beating Alabama in a one-off or Texas A&M with Johnny Manziel beating them in a one-off is cause it wasn’t just some crazy play or a lotta turnovers, even though they got turnovers. This was a team that was just better than Alabama. They win by 10 in Tuscaloosa and candidly it could have been more.”
Given the series of dropped conversions and touchdowns as missed opportunities go, Klatt is right. Here’s a look at where he ranked college football teams through the first two games.
