With a 37-10 win over the Rice Owls at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Week 1, the Texas Longhorns remained at No. 11 in the AP Top 25 and moved up two spots to No. 10 in the Coaches Poll. Both polls were released on Tuesday.
Two teams jumped the Longhorns in the AP Poll — the Volunteers moved from No. 12 to No. 9 following a 49-13 win over the Cavaliers and Notre Dame moved from No. 13 to No. 10 after two blowout wins over Navy and Tennessee State. Both schools were able to jump Texas due to losses by LSU and Clemson, although the Coaches Poll allowed the Longhorns to take advantage of those defeats.
