Texas among ESPN’s 2023 way-too-early top 25 poll

Expectations are high for Texas in 2023.

The college football season just came to a close with Georgia demolishing TCU to cap back-to-back championships.

While the year just ended, looking ahead to what is next is always exciting. ESPN released its way-to-early top 25 poll for the 2023 season.

The Longhorns check in at No. 16 on the list, along with three other Big 12 programs.

  1. Georgia (15-0)
  2. Ohio State (11-2)
  3. Michigan (13-1)
  4. Florida State (10-3)
  5. Alabama (11-2)
  6. Penn State (11-2)
  7. USC (11-3)
  8. LSU (10-4)
  9. Oregon (10-3)
  10. Tennessee (11-2)
  11. Washington (11-2)
  12. TCU (13-2)
  13. Utah (10-4)
  14. Notre Dame (9-4)
  15. Clemson (11-3)
  16. Texas (8-5)
  17. Oregon State (10-3)
  18. Kansas State (10-4)
  19. Tulane (12-2)
  20. Ole Miss (8-5)
  21. North Carolina (9-5)
  22. UTSA (11-3)
  23. Texas Tech (8-5)
  24. James Madison (8-3)
  25. Iowa (8-5)

It is easy to see why Texas is ranked entering 2023. The Longhorns took a considerable leap in Year 2 under Steve Sarkisian this season. Texas returns a bulk of its roster, including 10 out of 11 starters on offense and quarterback Quinn Ewers.
