Texas climbed 10 spots in the USA TODAY Sports’ Coaches Poll this week after an impressive win over Kansas State.
The Longhorns were not ranked in last week’s poll and landed at No. 18 after Week 10’s slate of games. It was the best win of Steve Sarkisian’s young tenure at Texas and more importantly kept the Longhorns in the Big 12 title race.
If Texas is able to handle business over the final three games, the Longhorns will be playing in the Big 12 Championship game in December. Here’s a look at the full Coaches Poll this week.
