College football preseason polls are finally here. In years past, Texas has been built up with expectations and ranked too highly in preseason polls. This season, the Longhorns are in a comfortable spot, not dawning them as one of the top teams in the country.
Texas ranks at No. 14 in the preseason Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. For the past two seasons, Tom Herman’s squad was a preseason top 10 team, only to finish with multiple losses.
As for the Big 12, Oklahoma is the only other top 15 team, coming in at No. 6. Oklahoma State (No. 16) and Iowa State (No. 25) are the only other teams from the conference to make the top 25.
