After a strong showing in Week 1, Texas has moved up in the latest AP Poll.
There were eight Top 25 teams that suffered losses this past weekend. No. 3 Clemson, No. 10 North Carolina, No. 12 Wisconsin, No. 14 Miami, No. 17 Indiana, No. 20 Washington and No. 23 Louisiana each had a disappointing start to their season.
Due to those losses and Texas’ 20-point win over Louisiana, the Longhorns landed at No. 15 in the latest AP Poll. To open the 2021 college football season, Texas was placed at No. 21, therefore the jump is significant.
Now, Texas must prove they can be consistent week after week, starting with a tough road matchup at Arkansas in Week 2.
