Texas ranks No. 1 in preseason Top 25 poll for first time in history

Texas beat out Penn State (No. 2) and reigning national champions Ohio State (No. 3) after receiving 25 first-place votes. 

Penn State fell just short with 23, which is still the most for the program dating back to 1997 - the same year they entered the season at No. 1.

Last year's runner-ups in the Notre Dame Fighting Irish didn't receive a single first-place vote.
