There’s only one SEC team the Longhorns would be underdogs against on a neutral field - Georgia.
Not Alabama. They can’t run the ball and their QB is seriously overrated. Certainly not Oklahoma, Texas A&M or Vanderbilt. Texas already beat them all convincingly. Not Ole Miss either. They lost their coach.
That’s the problem with this “committee”.
It talks about the Longhorns’ loss to Florida as if Texas is the same team today that played in Gainesville at the first of October.
The Longhorns clearly aren’t.
Texas is 6-1 over the last seven games, including three top 10 wins.
Texas itself should be among the top 10 teams in the country. The Longhorns should be in the playoffs. Alas, they won’t be.
Too many preconceptions were made too early about the strength of an Alabama team that beat Georgia but has looked average as grits for the last month. And then there’s an Aggie team that folded easier than a piece of paper in a book when they met their first real contest in two months.
An unequal non-conference schedule leads us to this. A conference with 16 teams leads us to this. A group of folks sitting in a hotel conference room deciding the outcome leads us to this.

Instead of the CFP, I think Texas is headed to the Citrus Bowl in Orlando to play Michigan. We’ll know more in a couple of hours.

Moves behind the scenes are already well underway as it relates to the portal.
Agents are busy shopping players to various teams. Teams have expressed interest.
While January 2 is the official opening of the portal, any team waiting until then has already lost the game.
