For the first time, Texas A college football season number 1 in Associated Press Top 25 will be opened.
Longhorn’s rarely found a mandate in the poll released on Monday: he pulled out Pen state Since 1998, only five points in the nearest Presiden vote.
Texas secured 25 first-ranked votes and 1,552 marks, so that the South-Eastern Conference could be given the Preseen No.1 team for the fifth straight year. Nitney Lions got 23 first place votes and 1,547 marks for his highest Presiden rankings as he was number 1 for opening the 1997 season.
Longhorn immediately face a major exam. Opener on 30 August in defending champion and third place Ohio State Last season’s college football playoffs are rematch of semi-finals, which is a 28–14 bakeies win in Cotton Bowl.
Bakies got 11 first place votes from a panel of 65 media members covering college football. Number 4 Clemson Four first place votes and number 5 got Georgia One is one.
Notre Dame, Oregan (Which got the last first place vote), Alabama, Agitation And Miami Out of top 10.
The SEC Presiden Top 25 leads all conferences with 10 teams, which is the most and more than a year by a conference. SEC has four teams in the top 10 for the second straight year.
Big Ten, who has won the last two National Championships, in the top three teams in the pole for the third straight year and six in the top 25 for the third consecutive year in a line for the third consecutive year.
Four Big 12 teams have been ranked, defending conference champion Arizona State No. 11. The Atlantic Coast Conference is three, headed by Claimson.
Longhorn has been on a top of a trajectory as they were 5–7 in 2021, in the first season of Steve Sarkisian. He has won 25 of his last 30 matches and two directly to CFP semi -finals. Last year, he was ranked in the five weeks of five weeks from mid -September to mid -October, and he arrived at the SEC Championship game in his first season at the conference.
“But this is a new year, new faces, new team, and obviously expectations for our program are high,” Sarkisian said in SEC media days. “I am not innocent for this. I have not kept my head in the sand, and there are too many expectations. But I also say that we are the University of Texas, and the standard is standard here, and it is competing for the championship in the year and year.”
The twelve Texas players were taken in the NFL draft, which included three first round pics, but the elite recruitment from the transfer portal and the additions should reduce concerns about the loss on the aggressive line and on the receiver. Defense brings back a lot of talents.
Nevertheless, Texas got only 38.5% of the first ranked votes (25 out of 65), the smallest for the number 1 team in the Presiden Poll in 2008, 33.9% (22 out of 65).
Longhorn’s has terminated season number 1 in AP Poll three times (1963, 1969, 2005), but had not yet started more seasons than No. 2 (1962, 1965, 1970, 2005, 2009).
In the second place, Nitney Lions is not only six points from number 1, they are 75 points ahead of the bkeys, which can be considered modest for national champs.
Pen state will be Drew alaar Back under the center to consider a light program from Oregon before 1 November in Ohio State.
Bakies will be in the top five for the ninth straight year and 12th out of the last 13 will be a new form with only five beginners and returning to three defense.
Coach Ryan Dey said, “This team has its own identity.” “It wants to keep its identity, but also wants to be the first Ohio State Team, which won the back-to-back National Championship.”
Opener against Texas will give a good solution to Bakies himself. Julian Sayin Or Lincoln kinholz The third new new will be the quarterback in three years. Anyone who gets a job will throw one of the top players in the country Jeremiah Smith,
Dey will also have another chance to find out the Archaeval and Presence Number 14 Michigan, who defeated the bkeys for four direct years.
