Texas evaluates schedule after September performances from SEC teams
Summary

Texas remains unbeaten at 4-0 and atop the AP Poll as it prepares for its upcoming games, including a matchup against Oklahoma on October 10. The Longhorns had the weekend off, while SEC teams, such as Florida and Mississippi State, faced disappointing losses that reshaped perspectives on Texas' remaining schedule. Florida fell 45-17 at Missouri, and Mississippi State lost 56-23 at home to Alabama. These results indicate a shift in expectations for teams previously seen as threats to Texas' success this season. The Longhorns have eight regular-season games left, and their next challenge is against a struggling Oklahoma team.
