Nope, the final AP rankings are out, and Texas was #4 with no first place
votes.  Utah came out at #2 with 16 first place votes.

And, oh, NU was dropped from the rankings while Iowa (with the same record
who NU beat on the road, btw) ended up at 20th.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Stoops now that he's shown
he can get into BCS games year in and year out but hasn't been able to win
since 2000.
