The latest version of ESPN’s Football Power Index seemingly has Texas football up way too high after Week 7, nearly inside the top 10.
The first bye week for fourth-year head coach Tom Herman and the Texas football program this year in the midst of the Big 12 schedule has a lot of turbulence circulating around the team, namely the coaching staff. Texas headed into the bye week with a record of 2-2 (1-2 Big 12), coming off that demoralizing four over time loss in the annual Red River Rivalry game at the hands of head coach Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners, by the final score of 53-45.
