2023 Preseason College Football Power Poll: Texas, TCU, Texas Tech jockey for top billing

The first FBS game of the 2023 season involving a Texas-based team is in Week 0 when UTEP travels to Jax State in a new-look Conference USA showdown. The other 12 teams, including newcomer Sam Houston, start their seasons in Week 1. Nine Texas teams reached bowl games in 2022 with TCU becoming the first team to play in a national championship game in over a dozen years. 

The 2023 season should provide another list of storylines. Is Texas back? Can Texas A&M squeeze success out of a talented roster? With five teams playing in new conferences heading into 2023, and the Longhorns facing some old rivals for the last time in a long time during their final Big 12 campaign, the Lone Star State is in store for something memorable.
