Texas Jumps Ohio State in AP Top 25 but Trails in Coaches Poll

Texas Jumps Ohio State in AP Top 25 but Trails in Coaches Poll
World Sports · 19:39:39 - Wednesday, 4 November 2026

Texas has moved ahead of Ohio State in the latest Associated Press Top 25 college football poll, but the Longhorns remain behind the Buckeyes in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

The shift comes after Texas' victory over Ohio State on September 12, 2026, in Austin, where quarterback Arch Manning led the Longhorns. Despite the head-to-head result, the two polls differ in their ordering of the two programs.

The AP Top 25 now places Texas above Ohio State, while the Coaches Poll keeps the Buckeyes ahead.
