Texas moves up one spot in latest US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 5

Texas continues to climb in the Coaches Poll. Here’s a look at the top 10 teams.

Texas moved up one spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 5.

The Longhorns are now the No. 4 team in the Coaches Poll after defeating Kansas 40-14 on Saturday. Steve Sarkisian’s team received one first-place vote, but the overwhelming majority went to Georgia.

Other college football analysts believe Texas should be ranked higher, some going as far as putting the Longhorns at No. 2. A big win on the road over then-ranked No. 3 Alabama and defeating another ranked team (No. 24 Kansas) in Week 5 bodes well for Texas’ resume.

While there’s been some shakeup in regards to the top five teams in the country each week, Texas has found themselves in the thick of the College Football Playoff race.
