Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Lead Texas College Football Rankings

The Texas Longhorns, currently ranked seventh nationally, remain one of the top favorites to win the 2025 college football national title, holding the fourth-best odds at +700 according to BET MGM, behind Ohio State, Penn State, and Georgia. After a loss to Ohio State in Week 1, the Longhorns rebounded convincingly with a 38-7 win over San Jose State, led by quarterback Arch Manning's strong performance. Texas is favored by 41.5 points in their upcoming game against UTEP, continuing their dominant history against the Miners. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has climbed to 17th in the US LBM Coaches Poll and is preparing for a high-profile game against eighth-ranked Notre Dame, seeking to prove their national relevance after solid wins over UTSA and Utah State. The Aggies have shown defensive improvement and will rely on quarterback Marcel Reed to perform at a high level in their upcoming contest. Both Texas programs are under pressure to maintain strong performances as they face challenging conference schedules and key matchups that could define their seasons.
