The Longhorns already had two losses under their belt in matchups against Ohio State and Florida. Overtime wins over SEC bottom-feeders Kentucky and Mississippi State only added to the frustration. Oklahoma lost to Texas and dropped at home against Ole Miss two weeks later as the offense grinded to a halt.

Surprising results from Week 10 of the college football season have caused changes to the NCAA Re-Rank 1-136 with Oklahoma and Texas on rise.

Arch Manning and Co. just knocked off the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 10 to earn the No. 11 spot in Tuesday's rankings. At 7-2, Texas likely needs to win out to feel safe about its playoff prospects. Upsets over UGA and A&M would also send the top 10 into chaos. A&M is No. 3 and Georgia is No. 5.

Week 10 of the 2025 college football season featured three ranked-on-ranked matchups that could loom large in the College Football Playoff race. None was bigger than No. 18 Oklahoma's clash with No. 14 Tennessee -- a battle between SEC foes that served as a de facto elimination game as the calendar flips to November.

Oklahoma and Texas may have been included if the playoff simply featured the 12 best teams in the country, but the Sooners and Longhorns aren't included because the ACC and the best Group of 5 champion automatically make the field. The CFP Committee currently has Virginia for the ACC champion and Memphis for the Group of 5 champion.

College football player Tate Sandell's on-the-field attire drew controversy when ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit mocked the Oklahoma Sooners' kicker for his "Daisy Dukes."

The No. 18 Sooners kept their College Football Playoff hopes alive by knocking off the No. 14 Volunteers on Saturday night.
