Texas Longhorns Rise Again in AP Top 25 Poll After Weekend Upsets
The Texas Longhorns were looking to not only make a statement in their matchup vs. the Florida Gators on Saturday, but they were also looking for some help in the polls.
Fortunately for Texas, there was plenty of both to go around.
The No. 5 Longhorns took care of business on their end, thrashing the Gators 49-17 in the early slate of games.
Not long after that, the Miami Hurricanes were upset by Georgia Tech, clearing the way for Texas to get to the No. 4 ranking. However, that wasn't all.
In the next slate of games, No. 3 Georgia was also upset by Ole Miss in Oxford, meaning that the Longhorns were primed to rise multiple spots in Sunday's AP Top 25 Poll.
