The Texas Longhorns moved up a spot in the latest AP Poll, where they're slotted at No. 18 after a convincing win over Iowa State. The Longhorns avoided the upset and cruised to the win in Austin, improving to 8-2 on the year. The Horns will now enjoy a weekend off before hosting TCU on Thanksgiving night. The Horned Frogs were unable to pull off the upset against Kansas State, which moved to No. 2 in the poll after Alabama's loss to Texas A&M. Texas will pay a visit to Manhattan to wrap up the season on the first weekend of December.
