AUSTIN, TX – Texas football appears to have rediscovered its form, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, though national polls haven’t fully reflected the Longhorns‘ recent performance. Despite a win, Texas remains at No. 15 in both the AP and Coaches Polls.
The Longhorns’ standing in the rankings comes as the SEC schedule for the future of the conference was reportedly leaked, with Alabama receiving a favorable draw. Elsewhere in college sports, Vanderbilt moved up to No. 18 in the AP Poll, while Kentucky basketball showcased highlights from its first day of practice. The news extends beyond college football, as Bruce pearl abruptly retired from Auburn, dispelling rumors of a potential U.S. Senate run. In the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals face uncertainty without Joe Burrow, and Justin Herbert’s performance is fueling optimism for the Los Angeles Chargers.
