Big 12 teams shuffle around, Longhorns on the outside looking in of updated AP Poll

The Longhorns remain unranked in the most recent AP Poll.

This should come as no surprise, as Texas had their bye week during Week 8, and prior to it were coming off two consecutive losses. In the two losses to the Oklahoma schools, the Longhorns displayed a strong first half with double-digit leads only to wet the bed both times in the second half.

Texas has a really strong opportunity to jump back in the rankings, as their next two games are against ranked opponents. Although the Longhorns did not play, several Big 12 teams shuffled around in the rankings this week.
