The Week 11 USA Today Coaches Poll is out, and the Texas Longhorns made a jump to the No. 17 spot after their 31-22 win over the previously ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The TCU Horned Frogs were unable to crack the top 25 in this latest edition, though they did did receive 37 points. TCU defeated then-No. 19 West Virginia Mountaineers this week.

As for other Big 12 teams in the polls, the BCS title chances for the Kansas St. Wildcats are still intact, as they remain at the No. 3 spot and trail Oregon and Alabama. Oklahoma actually dropped a spot to No. 13 after they defeated Iowa State.
