Last week the Texas Longhorns jumped back into the Amway Coaches Poll at No. 24 with a 17-13 victory over West Virginia. This past weekend the Longhorns were one of six Big 12 teams that had the week off. It was a wild weekend in college football as a whole with 15 games being cancelled. The Pac-12 Conference even scheduled one game (California-UCLA) for a Sunday morning kickoff. They weren’t on the schedule originally for this week.
The highest ranked Big 12 team continues to be the Oklahoma State Cowboys at No. 14. They are followed up by Iowa State at No. 16 and their opponent for Bedlam, the Oklahoma Sooners at No. 17.
Of the top five teams, only Florida and Notre Dame were in action this weekend.
