Texas football rankings: Where will Longhorns fall after Oklahoma loss?

Texas entered the Red River Rivalry with a 10‑point halftime lead but fell 27‑24 to Oklahoma after a dramatic second half, highlighted by Tate Sandell’s 47‑yard walk‑off field goal at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Oct. 10.

Arch Manning’s fourth‑quarter pass to Jermaine Bishop Jr. accounted for Texas’s only second‑half touchdown, while a Peyton Bowen interception return added to the Sooners’ scoring, and Courtland Guillory’s pick set up the game‑winning drive featuring John Mateer and Sandell.

The loss drops the top‑ranked Longhorns out of the No. 1 spot and likely slides them into the No.

7‑10 range in the upcoming US LBM Coaches and AP Top 25 polls, though the defeat does not erase their playoff hopes given a schedule that still includes ranked foes such as Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Missouri and LSU.
