Then don't schedule Ohio State. Problem solved.
Someone upthread said something about "unwinnable" games. That's not a thing. At Texas, every game should be winnable. Hell, a lot of people thought we could beat Ohio State. So it's not about "unwinnable" games. It's about "unlosable" games.
Anytime you schedule a home/home against a top 15 program, there's a chance to lose. Especially if it's away. Doesn't matter who it is. Ohio State coming to Austin next year, there's a chance they lose that game. That's just the reality of talent accumulation in college football.
Schedule UTRGV or New Mexico State, or LA Tech... Those games should be virtually unlosable.
If we get left out of the playoffs, the committee is saying you get 2 losses max and it doesn't matter who what when how those losses are. So give yourself the most margin for error and go undefeated in non conference. So just schedule all cupcakes, go undefeated in non conference, now you have margin for error in conference.
