Texas Longhorns Top 'Best in Texas' Poll

The Dallas Morning News has released its first 'Best in Texas' poll for the college football season, with Texas Longhorns unanimously taking the top spot, followed by Texas A&M, Texas Tech, SMU, and TCU. Florida State experienced a disappointing start to the season with a 24-21 loss to Georgia Tech, which could still leave them in contention for the College Football Playoff under the new 12-team format. Meanwhile, Ohio State faces high expectations with a 'national championship or bust' mentality this year, while other Big Ten teams like Penn State and Michigan also aim for strong performances. High school standout Jalen Cooper has emerged as a top wide receiver prospect after a stellar junior year at Steele High School. Additionally, Georgia Tech's upset win over Florida State has positioned them for a potential top-25 ranking.
