You had to ask - I can't resist good trivia questions!

Answer: 1998, coming off of a 4-7 season in 1997 (the last season under John Mackovic).
In 1998, the first season under Mack Brown, the Longhorns went 9-3, and finished the season ranked 15th.
 
I just flipped through the list and Texas wasn't on it. They must have been removed with some pressure.

I'm really close to boycotting ESPN altogether--which is too bad. They've had a nice run.

How blatant can you be ESPN? C'mon!
 
Hahah - in fairness, some TAMU and TTU boards were going off about it

They should really be embarrassed. Would this have happened if they weren't in bed with Texas? Maybe, Texas is a big draw just outside the top 25, so maybe it was innocent enough. But the perception is bad. In my opinion ESPN has crossed a line.

This is the entire problem with their relationship with Texas now. Every time they report on ANYTHING UT, the reader/viewer needs to ask himself what percentage of the story is altered/skewed by the ESPN/UT relationship.
