Longhorns stay No. 3 in newest US LBM Coaches Poll
With wins by top two Oregon and Ohio State, the Texas Longhorns remained No. 3 in the US LBM Coaches Poll for another week.
UT struggled a bit in Fayetteville to put away the Razorbacks, but ultimately prevailed 20-10. The semi-close call didn't cost the Longhorns any votes from the coaches who know any win on the road in the SEC is a good win.
Penn State and Indiana fill in the rest of the Top 5, which is all Big Ten besides Texas. The SEC lands five teams in the Top 11.
Georgia moved up two spots to 8th, just behind No. 7 Alabama, after beating Tennessee at home Saturday. The Vols on the other hand fell eight spots to No. 11. BYU and Kansas State also took big falls. LSU and Missouri both dropped out of the poll completely.
Texas A&M moved up one spot to No. 14. SMU also climbed a spot to No. 12.
