As SEC play opens, Texas football holds at No. 1 in AP poll after UTSA win
Despite an average performance against UTSA, Texas football stayed atop the AP poll as the Longhorns prepare for SEC play this week.
Texas football maintains its No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press top 25 poll following a 30-6 victory over UTSA on Saturday. The Longhorns secured the top spot just a week after defeating then-No. 1 Ohio State in a dramatic 24-23 comeback win. Georgia and Notre Dame follow in second and third place, respectively, while Ole Miss holds the fourth spot after a win over LSU pushed Indiana down to fifth.
Ole Miss' rise to fourth was aided by LSU's loss to the Rebels. Texas A&M dropped out of the top 25 after losing to Kentucky 31-21, falling from No. 9 to No. 23. Oklahoma, previously at No. 24, has fallen out of the top 25 after a 14-6 win over New Mexico. Texas is set to open SEC play against Tennessee, ranked No. 14, in Knoxville on Saturday at 11 a.m.
