Texas is #23 in the nation in the preseason Associated Press college football rankings.

Sound familiar?

Texas opened 2017 as the #23 ranked team. The Longhorns lost the opener to Maryland and never saw the top 25 again.

Here's a look at how other teams stand in the rankings:

  • Alabama is the number one team in the nation, followed by Clemson and Georgia.
  • Wisconsin and Ohio State round out the top five.
  • Washington is 6th with Oklahoma the top team in the Big 12 at #7.
  • Miami, Auburn and Penn State finish off the top ten.
  • Michigan State, Notre Dame, Stanford and Michigan are 11-14.
  • Texas plays the next three teams on its 2018 schedule with USC at #15, TCU #16 and West Virginia #17.
  • Mississippi State, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Central Florida and Boise State are #18-22.
  • Texas is at #23.
  • Oregon and LSU are #24 and #25 with several teams (Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Houston in that mix) receiving votes.

Alabama is preseason #1 for the third year in a row. The only other team to do that since the AP poll started in 1950 was Oklahoma from 1985 to 1987.
