As expected after the 34-30 loss to Oklahoma, Texas fell several spots in the US LBM Coaches Poll this week.
The Longhorns fell seven spots to No. 11. On the other hand, Oklahoma jumped five spots to No. 5.
All of Texas’ goals for this season are still achievable. The Longhorns and Sooners have a high chance of meeting in December for the Big 12 Championship game, and the winner could potentially sneak into the College Football Playoff.
Here’s a look at the full Coaches Poll.
