With three of the area's top five school off during Week 8, there was very little movement in our weekly Best in Texas rankings.
Like the previous week, there was a consensus top three at the top of everyone's ballot: Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
And like the previous week, the most contentious battle came between rivals TCU and Baylor for the No. 4 spot. Idle Baylor ended up extending its lead over TCU for the No. 4 spot from a 101-99 margin to 101-97 margin. That's more a product of Houston improving in the eyes of some voters than anything else (like TCU's fourth loss of the season, which came against Oklahoma) -- the 6-1 Cougars posted another impressive win in Week 8 and now holds a share of the state's best record with Texas, thanks to North Texas' loss to UAB.
