When the latest NSCAA/adidas Soccer Rankings were released on September 11, dual 3-1 starts were good enough to land both the Aggies and the Longhorns in the Top 10.

Texas A&M's squad came in at 5th in the poll, fresh off a 2-0 win over Duke in the Carolina Nike Classic, where the also fell victim to Nort Carolina, 2-1.. The Aggies can boast early season home victories over Darthmouth and the College of Charleston.

Texas comes in at 7th this week, having dropped their previous game, 2-0 to Arizona in Tucson. They were previously unbeaten, having defeated TCU, UCLA and Arizona State.

Both schools have eight games remaining until they square off on October 12 in College Station when one point will be up for grabs in the 2007-2008 State Farm Lone Star Showdown.
