Texas kept its win steak alive after defeating West Virginia 17-13 on Saturday.
This was a great response coming off of its biggest win of the year last week, when it upset the No. 6 team in the nation. Following the Oklahoma State victory, the Longhorns sat just outside of the top 25 in the Amway Coaches Poll. They are now back in the rankings after winning three consecutive games.
The top Big 12 team continues to be the Oklahoma State Cowboys, who check in this week at No. 13 overall. Iowa State is the next conference opponent on the list at No. 16 after its win over Baylor. Oklahoma moved up one spot this week to No. 18 after blasting the Kansas Jayhawks 62-9. The Longhorns squeaked in at No. 24 after defeating the Mountaineers.
