Plus: Sarkisian gets some much deserved watch list hype
Had a few plays gone different early in the season, there’s a strong chance we’d be having conversations about the Texas Longhorns potentially making the College Football Playoff.
But despite Texas’ two losses so far this season, if they win out, is there a chance?
It’s a question recently raised by 247Sports.
247Sports’ thoughts: “Let’s says the Longhorns win out and finish 11-2 on the year. Alabama wins out and takes the SEC. You would have a situation in which one of the Longhorns’ two losses was by a single point to the eventual SEC champion and Texas would have as many as four victories over top-25 competition in its pocket. Still, it’s hard to envision a scenario in which Texas makes the final four. The current numbers suggest otherwise, however.”
Short answer: it’s not likely … but we can dream.
