Texas drops out of updated AP Top 25 Poll, Arkansas is now ranked

Only two Big 12 programs are ranked in the latest AP Poll.

Texas has dropped out of the updated AP Top 25 Poll after a disappointing loss to Arkansas in Week 2.

The Longhorns were dominated in the trenches on Saturday evening and the 40-21 defeat likely could have been much worse. The talk of the game was how poorly Texas’ offensive line performed, but the Longhorns also gave up 333 rushing yards to the Razorbacks.

Even the special teams unit experienced their fair share of struggles. Kicker Cameron Dicker missed a field goal for the second consecutive week, and also bobbled the snap on a punt which Arkansas later took advantage of.

There weren’t many, if any, things that went right for Texas in this one. The next week will need a lot of reflection and adjustments before beginning Big 12 play on Sept. 25.
