Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns have bounced back from an ugly two-game losing streak headed into the month of November.

After taking down then-No. 7 Ole Miss last week, Texas took care of business in convincing fashion Saturday night against Mississippi State in a 31-3 win.

As a result, the Longhorns are moving back up the Top 25 rankings ahead of next week's road matchup with the Missouri Tigers.

The Longhorns moved up one spot from No. 11 to No. 10 in the latest AP Poll released Sunday afternoon.

There wasn't a ton of chaos at the top of the rankings this week, but the Longhorns still found a way to move a spot forward. This sets up a Top-20 matchup with Missouri, which moved up four spots to No. 19.

The Longhorns are one of four SEC teams in the Top 10 this week.
