NEW YORK — Off to the program's first 2-0 start since 2017, UTSA has made history by receiving votes in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll released Sunday.
Now in their 10th season, the Roadrunners received two votes and are one of 15 teams in that category in this week's poll. This marks the first time UTSA has collected a vote for either of the weekly Top 25 polls. The Roadrunners are one of three Conference USA teams in this week's poll, joining No. 25 Marshall and UAB, which received five votes.
UTSA is coming off a 24-10 victory over Stephen F. Austin on Saturday afternoon in its home opener at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners opened the Jeff Traylor era with a 51-48 double-overtime win against Texas State on Sept. 12 in San Marcos.
UTSA will host Middle Tennessee (0-2) this Friday, Sept. 25, at the Alamodome. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
The Associated Press began its college football poll on Oct. 19, 1936, and it is now the longest-running poll of those that award national titles at the end of the season. The preseason poll was started in 1950. A panel of 62 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly.
