Texas dropped its second game of the season, losing in Dallas to Oklahoma on Saturday. It was Tom Herman’s fourth career loss to the Sooners, losing three Red River Shootouts and one Big 12 championship matchup. The Longhorns are now a distance away from getting back to Arlington.
Because of the loss, Texas drops out of the AP poll for the first time this season. The Longhorns were unranked in four games last season, winning three of them. After a long bye week, Herman will need to refocus the group for an extremely important Baylor matchup.
Looking at the rest of the Big 12, Kansas State jumps back into the poll at No. 22 after defeating TCU on Saturday. Oklahoma State at No. 7 and Iowa State at No. 20 represents the rest of the conference.
Here is the full top 25:
