NEW YORK (November 1, 2009)--After its best performance of the season, Texas is back to No. 2 in both the AP and Coaches college football polls.

The Longhorns jumped Alabama and landed right behind top-ranked
Florida on Sunday, the day after winning 41-14 at Oklahoma State.

Florida, No. 1 for all but one week this season, received 38
first-place votes in the AP poll after a convincing 41-17 victory over Georgia. Alabama still has more first place votes than the Longhorns in the Coaches poll.

Texas started the season ranked second, but has been
No. 3 behind the Gators and Crimson Tide the last three weeks.
Texas received 13 first-place votes in the AP poll.

Alabama, which spent a week at No. 1, slipped to No. 3 during an
off week.

Cincinnati and Boise State round out the top five. TCU has climbed to number four in the Coaches poll.
