Texas Longhorns Football Pride

Texas Longhorns Claim No. 1 Spot in AP College Football Poll for First Time in 16 Years

Austin, Texas – A fresh chapter in college football has begun as the Texas Longhorns claim the top rank in the Associated Press college football poll following a decisive victory over the UTSA Roadrunners. This achievement marks the first time in 16 years that Texas has reached the No. 1 spot, overtaking the once reigning champions, Georgia.

Texas is gearing up for a game against UL Monroe this Saturday, and excitement is buzzing in the air. However, there is uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position as both Quinn Ewers, who is dealing with an oblique strain, and Arch Manning have been in contention for the starting role. In a recent update, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed that Manning will take the helm as the starting quarterback for the game.

Meanwhile, Georgia, despite being undefeated, has slipped to the No. 2 spot after only narrowly defeating Kentucky in an intense Southeastern Conference (SEC) match. The current top five is rounded out by Ohio State, Alabama, and Ole Miss, maintaining their positions from last week.

As Week 4 of college football approaches, fans can look forward to several thrilling matchups. Notably, the game between No. 24 Illinois and No. 22 Nebraska is set to kickoff at 8 p.m. ET on Friday night. Fans will have plenty of games to choose from, spread across multiple networks including ABC, CBS, ESPN, and Fox.
