Texas and Houston both climbed in the latest Associated Press top 25 college football poll released Sunday, while Texas Tech remained unchanged in the rankings.
The Longhorns re-entered the top 10 following their victory over Mississippi State on Saturday. Houston also improved its position in the weekly rankings that shape the national championship picture.
Texas Tech held its spot in the poll despite the weekend's action across the country. The Red Raiders' ranking remained stable as other teams shifted around them.
The updated poll reflects the ongoing movement in college football's hierarchy as the 2026 season progresses toward conference championship games and the playoff selection process.
