Do the Texas Longhorns Deserve a Spot in College Football Playoff?
Texas strengthens its playoff case with a rivalry win over Texas A&M as Steve Sarkisian cites a brutal schedule, top-10 victories, and a belief that the Longhorns belong in the CFP race.
AUSTIN, TX – The politicking began as soon as the final whistle blew in Texas’ 27-17 win over Texas A&M on Black Friday. Steve Sarkisian believes that his Longhorns deserve a third straight trip to the College Football Playoffs and he brought receipts to the postgame interview before he walked off the field with a signature win at DKR.
He reminded the nation after the win that his Longhorns are the first team since 2019 LSU to beat three top 10 teams in the regular season and that they’ve played three of the current top four teams in the country. He also pointed out that Texas has the fifth-hardest strength of schedule and outgained Ohio State by 200 yards in the road loss to start the season.
