It was a solid season for multiple Texas teams in 2025.

DALLAS — It was a solid season for Texas college football teams in 2025.

The final Associated Press Top 25 released Tuesday saw six teams from the Lone Star State make last ranking of the season.

Texas Tech checked in at No. 7, followed by Texas A&M at No. 8. Both the Red Raiders and Aggies were one-and-done in the College Football Playoff, but it was hardly a disappointing season in Lubbock and College Station.

Texas finished No. 12 after a win over Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. The Houston Cougars were ranked No. 22 after beating LSU in the Texas Bowl, while North Texas came in at No. 24. TCU snuck into the final spot in the Top 25 after beating USC in the Alamo Bowl.

It should be noted, TCU actually beat two ranked teams in front of them, in Houston and USC (No. 20). 

SMU was among the first teams out of the Top 25, third in the “other receiving votes” category.

The national champion Indiana Hoosiers were No. 1 in the final poll.

After beating Miami in the College Football Playoff title game to cap a 16-0 season that was unprecedented in the modern era, the Hoosiers on Tuesday became the third straight Big Ten team to finish on top of the rankings. Indiana’s championship and No. 1 final ranking followed those of fellow Big Ten teams Ohio State in 2024 and Michigan in 2023.
