Notes

Last Week

Notes: The Bears are the undisputed kings of Texas, and are potentially a win away from a New Year's Six bowl.

Notes: Despite a loss, the Mustangs are still in the midst of a great season, and can pick up a 10th win on Saturday.

Texas A&M Aggies

Notes: The Aggies showed some of the flashes that we've been waiting for against Georgia. Next up: No. 1 LSU.

Texas Longhorns

Notes: The Longhorns are just one game above .500 in a season they were supposed to compete for the Big 12. Not ideal!

TCU Horned Frogs

Notes: The Horned Frogs gave Oklahoma a scare. They'll be a scary team as Max Duggan keeps getting better.

Texas Tech Red Raiders

Notes: The Red Raiders lost their fourth conference game by one score. Eventually, those results will turn.

Houston Cougars

Notes: The Cougars capitalized on their opportunity against a lower-level team. Despite the record, this has been a good development year for the Coogs.

Notes: Congrats, Owls. You're out of the proverbial cellar and have a shot at a three-game winning streak against UTEP.

North Texas Mean Green

Notes: The Mean Green are in the bottom tier for the first time since 2016. This has been a nightmare end to Mason Fine's stellar career.

UTSA Roadrunners

Notes: The Roadrunners have shown real improvement on the football field, even if it won't show up in games against FAU and La Tech to end the year.

Texas State Bobcats

Notes: The Bobcats were outclassed by App State – as expected – and now have just one more shot to clear the three-win plateau.

Notes: Another week, another painful loss for the Miners. UTEP has just one last chance to try and beat an FBS team at home for the first time since 2016.
