After two dominant victories over Incarnate Word and West Virginia, Texas moved up in the polls this week.
In the updated AP Poll Top 25, the Longhorns climbed three spots to No. 14. The latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports placed Chris Beard’s squad at No. 16, up two spots from the previous week.
