Week 12 Texas FBS Recap: Aggies Rally, Mean Green Rise, Longhorns Collapse
Week 12 reshaped Texas college football as Texas A&M surged toward the CFP, Texas suffered a season-defining loss, and Texas Tech and North Texas stayed alive in the playoff hunt.
Welcome to the Week 12 recap of FBS programs in the state of Texas. The 10 teams in action were a combined 6-4 on the week to bring the record for the 13 FBS teams in the Lone Star State to 80-51 on the year. Four of our teams – Texas A&M, Texas Tech, SMU, and North Texas – remain in the College Football Playoff picture following Week 12. The Texas Longhorns dropped out of that race in the blowout loss to Georgia.
Texas A&M’s historic comeback was the headliner from Week 12 in the state of Texas. The Aggies overcame a 30-3 halftime deficit to knock off South Carolina and remain undefeated. Texas Tech cruised to a win over UCF and have made a case to be a Top 5 team in the country. North Texas took control of the American Conference thanks to an easy win over UAB and a loss by USF, the only team to beat the Mean Green this year.
