The Texas Longhorns have probably played themselves out<\/a> of the college football playoff. Texas fell eight spots in the newest US LBM Coaches Poll<\/a>. The nosedive is a preview of the CFP rankings reveal later this week.<\/p>\n

The Horns were dominated by Georgia Saturday night<\/a>, 35-10. The word coach Steve Sarkisian and other players used after the game was “disaster.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fourth quarter was, for lack of better terms, a disaster,\u201d Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said after the game. \u201cWe got beat 21-0 in the fourth quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n

UT has fallen eight spots in the coaches poll, tumbling from No. 10 to No. 18. Since both the coaches and AP polls are used by the CFP committee, Texas will assuredly be on the outside looking in at a spot in the playoff. Texas chances have gone down to just 20%, according to the ESPN FPI playoff bracket predictor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other team that saw a big drop in the ranking is Alabama<\/a>, who slipped six spots from No. 4 to No. 10 after losing at home to the Oklahoma Sooners.<\/p>\n

The top three of Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M stayed the same. Georgia<\/a> moved up into the No. 4 spot, replacing Alabama. Oregon, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Notre Dame make up the rest of the top ten.<\/p>\n

North Texas is ranked in the coaches poll for the first time since 1977. The Mean Green are one of three Group of Five teams ranked, joined by James Madison<\/a> and Tulane. UNT and Tulane are in the American Conference, while JMU hails from the Sun Belt.<\/p>\n

There are nine SEC teams included in the Top 25. The Big Ten lands five teams in the ranking. Four Big 12 teams are ranked, while the ACC places just three teams in the coaches poll.<\/p>\n
