The Texas Longhorns have moved up to No. 6 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings after securing a two-score victory against the Missouri Tigers. This ranking reflects their solid resume, bolstered by wins over ranked opponents, including the No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, who fell to Alabama last weekend. As the team prepares to face the LSU Tigers, ranked No. 21, a win could further enhance their playoff prospects. The Longhorns are currently just outside the top five, trailing Notre Dame by one spot.
