Not sure committee would put Texas in. Lots of football to be played. From here you MIGHT need help. You need Notre Dame, Ohio St, or Clemson to lose. I think you would agree with that. If one of them loses it depends on who they lose to. You need TCU to keep winning. You need USC to keep winning. Really you need Maryland to do well to minimize that loss.
I don’t trust Texas winning out. However, if we do it will include wins over USC, TCU, OU or WVU twice and a few other bowl teams (ISU, OkSt, either Tech or Baylor). Despite losing to Maryland I don’t think many teams will be able to point to such a schedule. And it’s Texas...like or agree with the bias it is there.
Now here is what I think
Baylor is a dangerous team. They have an offense that could take advantage of a defense lacking intensity. Ultimately Texas wins by 10-14
@OkSt. Is never a fun trip. Fans are rowdy and oSu can put up points. They force turnovers at home as well. I think Texas protects the ball and wins a close one 6-10 points.
WVU at home. Texas and the fans will not have a problem getting up for this game. Texas’ secondary will be up for the challenge and Texas will dominate the LOS. Texas wins by 14-17.
@Tech. Coaching for his life if the fans show up this will be a tough one. I think Tech is 4-5 coming into this game and will be inspired. Texas has trouble running the ball and loses the turnovers trying to sleep walk through the game. Tech wins by a FG.
Iowa State at home. Two tough defenses. Texas regroups and handles ISU at the LOS. Winning the turnovers Texas wins by 14-17 in a relatively low scoring game.
@Kansas. Texas needs a win to get to the CCG and will be focused. But gracious, is there anything worse than playing at 11am on the road in front of 15k fans? Texas wins by 24
CCG vs. OU. OU is better on D and Kyler Murray doesn’t turn the ball over. OU wins by 10.
That puts Texas at 10-3 with a probable Fiesta Bowl vs. a mid major. 11-3 and hammer recruiting. Next 4-5 years set up for legitimate run at CFP
