Texas has 12 FBS teams. Each week we will rank them based on season-long performance, the prior game, and success relative to their level. These are the rankings after Nov. 4 games.
No. 12: UTEP
The beating goes on for the winless Miners. North Texas took them to the woodshed.
No. 11: Rice
The Owls at least put up a fight against Southern Miss. Alas, it was still a losing effort.
No. 10: Texas State
The Bobcats are playing better football, but lost 33-30 to Georgia State. At least it wasn't George Strait.
No. 9: Baylor
The Bears will probably have to be happy with that win over Kansas. They were competitive against Tech, but could not get the job done.
No. 8: UTSA
The Road Runners lost at home to improving UAB. They would fall on this list except there is nowhere to go with the teams behind them being putrid.
No. 7: North Texas
The Mean Green are likely headed for the C-USA championship game and are playing solid football.
No. 6: Texas Tech
The Red Raiders got back to .500 with a win over lowly Baylor and need one more victory for bowl eligibility.
No. 5: SMU
For a second straight week, the Ponies threw a scare into a superior opponent, but came up short in a 43-40 loss to Navy.
No. 4: Texas
The Longhorns are now 5-5 after taking out woeful Kansas. A trip to West Virginia and Tech remain as the Horns seek bowl eligibility.
No. 3: Houston
The Cougars were off. Tulane and Navy are left on the schedule.
No. 2: Texas A&M
The Aggies thumped New Mexico, but then again, they were supposed to thump New Mexico.
No. 1: TCU
The Frogs dropped their second of the season, losing to OU and all but killing their playoff hopes.

It’s starting early today 👀

Houston is sending a 2025 5th round pick and a 2027 5th round pick to Cleveland in exchange for two 2025 6th round picks and one 2025 7th round selection.
While it's no certainty, it sure seems the Texans are trying to acquire as much capital as possible in the 2025 Draft to help them maneuver up and down the board over the next three days.
Texans GM Nick Caserio has a reputation as a wheeler and dealer, and this year is clearly no exception.
Will the Texans use this capital to move up in the first round? We're about to find out!
Go Texans!
