Part of situation: Texas loses No. 1 ranking following Red River Rivalry upset (8 clusters)

Texas Longhorns upset No. 1 Ohio State to claim No. 1 ranking

college football Texas Longhorns Ohio State Buckeyes Arch Manning AP Top 25

The No. 4 Texas Longhorns secured a dramatic 24-23 victory over No. 1 Ohio State in Austin, mounting a massive fourth-quarter comeback to erase a 20-point deficit. Led by quarterback Arch Manning, Texas scored 21 unanswered points in the final period, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run from Hollywood Smothers with 25 seconds remaining. The win has propelled Texas to the No. 1 spot in both the AP Top 25 and the US LBM Coaches Poll, while Ohio State fell to No. 6 in the AP rankings.

Following the game, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian drew attention for abruptly ending a postgame interview with ESPN’s Holly Rowe, shouting “Texas fight!” before walking away to celebrate with his team. Reports indicated Sarkisian had also declined a halftime interview with Laura Rutledge, though a spokesperson cited technical difficulties as a contributing factor.

Other notable shifts in the college football landscape include Michigan moving up to No. 19 in the AP poll, Penn State climbing to No. 15 in the Coaches Poll, and BYU rising to No. 11 in the AP rankings after a win over Arizona.
