Muh SEC bias I can hear from miles away. Texas's wins are abused idc. Ohio St, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and UTSA! We reward good scheduling! Last Week: #10

How does a team who lost to Oklahoma and Florida end up back in the top-10? Is it the name? No; it's the best defense in cfb. Is it the offense? Nope; it's a win against the power rated top team in the game.

Up 1

The 2nd team with 4 quality wins, over Ohio State, UTSA, Tennessee, and Ole Miss. But they have two losses including a bad one to Oklahoma. But the quantity of wins lets them round out Bucket B

GippyRank Quality of Results expected rank: 9.2. Central 80% interval: 2–18. Top-25 probability: 96.7%.

LW: #14 6-2 with their best average opponent ranking so far, with their worst opponent being #66 Mississippi State. Really only hindered by a loss to #62 Oklahoma and a lack of double digit wins against top 25 teams, but that could change if #26 UTSA keeps playing well

The past couple of weeks have been a nice change of fortune for the Longhorns, and their rank has been increased to just outside the top 10 in reflection of this. While it's still likely that Sark needs to have a dedicated OC in the future, the rest of the team has been able to take advantage of weaknesses in their opponents and pounce on the opportunity. Now obviously, Arch Manning is still somewhat of a headcase, and the less said about that dismal special teams' performance on the onside kick, the better. But there's reason for optimism in Austin and the route to challenge for not only the SEC Title once again but perhaps a CFP bid as well remains alive and well. Just don't look at how poorly their loss to Oklahoma is aging.

3 great wins make them the best 2 loss resume, but those 2 losses are horrific

I think they should be first team out. Don't deserve to be in, but keep finding a way to be close

Not inspired by this Longhorn team

I don't like texas here, but I can't justify anything else well right now.
