Saturday’s 38-point victory over the Kansas State Wildcats vaulted the Texas Longhorns back in the College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday, as the Longhorns sit at No. 20.
Now sitting at 6-3 on the season with one game remaining — Saturday’s contest against Kansas in Lawrence — Texas has only one loss to a team outside of the College Football Playoff rankings as Iowa State ranks No. 7 and Oklahoma ranks No. 11. Oklahoma State at No. 22 gives Texas one win over a team in the College Football Playoff rankings.
