After a brutal stretch for the Texas Longhorns in which the team faced four teams currently ranked in the Top 25 of the Coaches Poll in the first five games, the schedule doesn't get any easier with next week's game against the Oklahoma Sooners in Dallas.
Coming off a resounding 20-point win at home against West Virginia, Oklahoma is now up to No. 9 in the Coaches Poll, meaning that the Sooners will be the second highest-rated opponent of the season for the Horns.
