per the AP:
College football in Texas has hit a low point not seen for nearly two decades.
There were no teams from the state of Texas ranked in The Associated Press poll this week for the first time since Sept. 14, 1997. Depending how the bowl season goes, this could be a first of sorts for Texas college football in the 80-year history of the AP poll .
The only times that no Texas schools were ranked in the final AP poll came in 1965 and 1967 , when rankings only went to 10. But in those seasons, at least one Texas school was among 10 others receiving votes.
It will be up to Houston (9-3) and Texas A&M (8-4) to keep the state from being shut out of the final rankings.
