Longhorns Hold On To No. 1 Ranking
By Dick Couch
Associated Press Sports Writer
Texas’ courageous comeback
victory over Arkansas has as
sured the Longhorns of a firm
hold on the top spot in major
college football—at least until
their Cotton Bowl date with No
tre Dame.
The Longhorns, who battled
from 14 points down in the final
quarter last Saturday to nip the
then second-ranked Razorbacks
15-14, remained entrenched atop
the national rankings Monday in
The Associated Press’ last regu
lar season poll.
A postseason ballot, following
the Jan. 1 bowl games, will de
termine the national champion.
The Razorbacks’ heart-breaking
loss, their first of the season,
cost them the No. 2 position, Penn
State moving up from the third
spot one week after completing
an unbeaten season.
Texas, 10-0, received 22 of 30
first place votes cast by a na
tionwide panel of sports writers
and sportscasters. Penn State,
which picked up five firsts, trail
ed the Longhorns 580-492 in
points while Arkansas had 426.
Fourth-ranked Ohio State, No.
5 Southern California and No. 7
Michigan divided the other three
first place votes as the remainder
of the Top Ten stayed the same
week ago. Missouri held
Louisiana State eighth,
Dame ninth and UCLA
as a
sixth,
Notre
10th.
Penn State, 10-0 this season
and unbeaten in 29 consecutive-
games, puts its streak on the
line against Missouri, 9-1, in the
Orange Bowl; Arkansas, 9-1,
meets No. 13 Mississippi, 7-3, in
the Sugar Bowl and Michigan,
8-2, takes on Southern Cal, 0-0-1,
in the Rose Bowl.
There were position changes
in the Second Ten, although all
the teams had finished their reg
ular schedule a week or more be
fore the poll. Tennessee and Au
burn, 12th and 11th, respectively
last week, switched places. So did
Mississippi and Nebraska, Nos.
14 and 13 last week.
Florida went from 18 to 15th
and Stanford from 17th to 16th.
Purdue and Houston, 15th and
19th last week, tied for 17. West
Virginia dropped from 16th to
19th and unbeaten, untied Tole
do held 20th.
Colorado was the only other
school to receive votes.

place votes in parentheses and
