Barring a last-second change of heart by members of the College Football Playoff committee, the postseason for Texas will just feature a bowl game.
Texas was ranked 13th in the second-to-last CFP rankings on Tuesday. With the final rankings and playoff bracket set to be released on Sunday, there isn’t much that an idle Texas team can do to move within reach of an at-large bid for the 12-team playoff.
In the newest Longhorn Confidential, the American-Statesman’s Danny Davis, Cedric Golden and Thomas Jones discuss if Texas (9-3) should blame its loss against Ohio State, its loss against Florida or its loss against Georgia for its likely exclusion from the College Football Playoff. The Statesman sportswriters also discuss if the Longhorns should avoid scheduling big-name opponents in nonconference play in the future.
