DCTF's 2012 Texas College Power Poll — Week Eleven
| # | School | Last Week Rank |
| 1 | Texas A&M Aggies | 1 |
| Greg Tepper: I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I'm not sure Johnny Football is the Heisman lock that everyone presumes him to be (and that I think he should be). I think people are underestimating the Notre Dame love-fest that the national media is about to descend upon the country. | ||
| t-2 | Texas Longhorns | 2 |
| Adam Hochfelder: Flat Stanley has a new book out. It's called "Flat Texas." | ||
| t-2 | TCU Horned Frogs | 5 |
| Jake Shaw: The Frogs are seemingly at their best when everyone counts them out. | ||
| 4 | Baylor Bears | t-3 |
| Brad Hilliard: On the verge of losing a number of offensive playmakers to graduation, the Bears appear to have found another in Lache Seastrunk. | ||
| 5 | Texas Tech Red Raiders | t-3 |
| Greg Tepper: While that's a disappointing loss to Baylor, it's hard to view Tech's season as anything but a step in the right direction. Now, about replacing that quarterback... | ||
| 6 | Rice Owls | 6 |
| Adam Hochfelder: Rice is going to a bowl game likely with its 6th win. Great save for David Bailiff. | ||
| 7 | SMU Mustangs | 7 |
| Jake Shaw: June Jones might've secured his job with that win over Tulsa. | ||
| 8 | Houston Cougars | 8 |
| Brad Hilliard: It was a perplexing year for U of H, and the confusion will not subside with their new place in the Big East’s quizzically-named West Division next year. | ||
| 9 | UTSA Roadrunners | 11 |
| Greg Tepper: Honestly, the only reason UTSA isn't ranked above teams like Rice and SMU in the Power Poll is because they're not bowl-eligible. What a remarkable year for the Roadrunners, and perhaps a sign of big things to come. |
||
| 10 | North Texas Mean Green | 9 |
| Jake Shaw: Hopefully this was just a sophomore slump for Dan McCarney. | ||
| 11 | Texas State Bobcats | 10 |
| Adam Hochfelder: Ouch. Fran lost to Larry Coker. Last decade, that had BCS implications. Not so much now. | ||
| 12 | UTEP Miners | 12 |
| Brad Hilliard: The Price era in El Paso certainly had its high moments, but his retirement will open the door for a much-needed fresh start for the Miner program. | ||
