SAN ANTONIO — Fresh off a 44-23 road victory over UTEP on Saturday night, UTSA has moved up in both national polls this week to No. 15 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 16 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll released on Sunday.
Off to the best overall (9-0) and conference (5-0) starts in program history, the Roadrunners received 606 votes to jump one spot to No. 15 — their highest ranking ever — in this week’s AP Top 25. UTSA first cracked the AP Top 25 at No. 24 three weeks ago before moving up one position after the 45-16 win at Louisiana Tech and then to 16th on Oct. 31. This also marks the seventh consecutive week and eighth time overall UTSA has received votes in the poll. On Sept. 20, 2020, UTSA collected two votes in the AP Top 25 Poll, a first for the program.
Currently riding a school-record nine-game winning streak — tied with Cincinnati for the third-longest active streak in the FBS — the Roadrunners received 525 votes this week to move from No. 18 to 16th in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. UTSA made its first appearance in the top 25 in program annals at No. 25 on Oct. 17 and this marks the ninth straight week the Roadrunners have collected votes in that poll.
The Roadrunners were bumped up one spot to No. 15 in this week’s Football Writers Association of America/National Football Foundation Super 16 Poll.
The Roadrunners — one of four undefeated FBS teams — will host Southern Miss (1-8, 0-5) for “Orange Out” this Saturday, Nov. 13. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. at the Alamodome and the game will air on ESPN+ and Ticket 760. Tickets are available by calling or texting 210-458-UTSA (8872) or visiting goutsa.com/tickets.
