Will Texas win the College Football Playoff?

At least six of the remaining eight teams in the College Football Playoff feel like true title contenders. The Texas Longhorns are one of those six. In fact, the Horns are the betting favorite heading into the quarterfinals. They face Arizona State – one of two teams without a realistic chance of running the table – in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 1 in Atlanta, Ga. 

That’s not to say the Sun Devils can’t beat Texas on New Year’s Day. It’s just that they – and Boise State – lack the quality depth to win three games over 20 days against the nation’s elite. Only programs like Texas, Georgia, Ohio State, and Oregon can do that. Maybe Notre Dame and Penn State, as well.
