Texas drops in both polls after loss to Oklahoma
The four-week stay at No. 1 ended for the Longhorns after the Red River Rivalry loss on Saturday.
Following Saturday's nail-biting 27-24 defeat to the Oklahoma Sooners, the Texas Longhorns have plummeted from the top of both the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll rankings. They now sit at No. 7 in the AP and No. 6 in the Coaches Poll after holding the No. 1 ranking for four weeks since 1977. This dramatic fall came after a last-second loss in the Cotton Bowl as heavy favorites against the Sooners, who had recently suffered two losses, prompting the dismissal of multiple coaches.
Georgia has taken the No. 1 spot in both polls following a thrilling 20-17 victory over Alabama, who remain in the No. 6 and No. 7 positions in the AP and Coaches Polls respectively. The next match-up will feature Florida, who has dropped out of the Coaches Poll after suffering a disappointing 38-19 loss to South Carolina in Gainesville.
