Power ranking the SEC after week 6: Aggies continue ascent, others slide after upsets

Power ranking the SEC after week 6: #6 - Texas

The Longhorns benefitted in the AP rankings from the bye week, but they occupy the same spot in this week’s power rankings. Their resume, which seemed to be one of the nation’s best early on, now looks significantly different, given how Michigan has been playing.

Funnily enough, Red River could be the easiest remaining game on the schedule for the Longhorns. Games that were originally thought to be cakewalks in Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and Arkansas now all look a lot more intimidating.

Of course, they still avoid Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Alabama. But don’t be surprised if one of these games that fans are probably overlooking at the moment turns out to be too close for comfort, especially given some of the issues Texas has had with the ground game.

I don’t expect Red River to be particularly close, but the Longhorns are staring down the barrel of a visit from Georgia the following week. This will be an interesting couple of weeks down in Austin.
