Longhorns only drop 1 spot in AP poll after upset loss to Texas Tech


AUSTIN (KXAN/AP) — The Longhorns finished a 1-1 week by only dropping one spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Texas checks in at No. 5 this week after a home loss to No. 12 Texas Tech and a win against Kansas State.

Texas is unexpectedly off this week after its road games at Iowa State and at TCU were postponed due to COVID-19. Iowa State has paused all team activities. On Monday, TCU head coach Jamie Dixon announced on Twitter that he tested positive for COVID-19.

No. 2 Baylor continues to chase Gonzaga for the No. 1 spot. The Bears host No. 9 Kansas on Monday night.

Texas Tech moved up to No.12 while West Virginia dropped to No. 14.
