Burnt Orange Nation, a Texas Longhorns community

Texas is back up to where we were before Wyoming, with 2 first place votes. Bama, however, ends up with 3. And basically sits in the exact position USC has been occupying behind Texas with total number of votes. Sitting there, just like a spider.... Miami leaps from 9 to 20, and likely to the Top 5 if/when they beat OU.

Following a 1-1 week, the Texas Longhorns fell further outside the top ten for the second straight week. Wake Forest, the nation's lone unbeaten team, slides into the top spot after Pittsburgh's defeate at Louisville on Saturday night. The ACC and Big East dominate both polls taking the top four spots in each. In the Big XII, OU is 5/6, Texas is 14/15, and Baylor is 23/NR.

A convincing road win was enough for Texas to move ahead of OU in the USA Today poll. The Sooners were obviously off yesterday while Texas is off next Saturday. The real question will be where we stand next Sunday, if OU defeats Tech.
