Should the Texas Longhorns actually be the No. 1 team in the nation? Texas currently sits at No. 2 in the AP Poll and No. 3 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. ESPN moved Texas up to No. 2 in its weekly Power Rankings.
The Longhorns have arguably the best win by anyone in the top five. Georgia’s best win is against a depleted Clemson team. Ohio State, the team Texas jumped in the AP Poll and the ESPN power rankings, has played Akron and Western Michigan.
Week 2 brought some surprising results. And it is easy to overreact. That’s why we’re here to make sense of things and identify the five biggest ones. https://t.co/obMmUKcVrS

Texas’ beat down of the Wolverines resonates. In USA TODAY’s weekly ‘Overreactions,’ Eddie Timanus makes a case for Texas to be the top team in America.
The best thing about the 12-team playoff, especially for teams near the top of the polls and rankings, is it will be settled on the field. There won’t be an 12-0 Florida State this year that misses out. With Texas hosting Georgia in October and a possible rematch in the SEC Championship Game, there will be plenty of opportunity to take over the top spot on the field.
