Tag: Texas Longhorns ranking

After the loss to Texas Christian, the Texas Longhorns went stumbling in the latest Associated Press Poll in college football. UT only lost by two but it was the way they lost that was so bad. The loss by Oklahoma for the second-straight week dropped them completely out of the top 25. Which marks the first time that the Sooners have been out of the poll since Sept. 25 of 2016.

After losing their opening game against Louisiana-Lafayette, Iowa State jumped into the poll after defeated TCU and OU in consecutive weeks. ULL ranks just one ahead of the Cyclones. The big riser this week was Oklahoma State who finds themselves in the top ten after the Longhorns fell 13 spots.

1. Clemson (3-0)

As for the rest of the Big 12, two other teams made the top 25. Oklahoma (No. 3) is the highest-ranked conference team and Oklahoma State (No. 11) also makes a major jump. Iowa State drops out of the poll after losing at home to Louisiana.
