Zero, zilch, nada. I've yet to see or hear a single person say Texas has a chance to win. Any debate is over the size of the score margin.

The closest comparison is the Alabama game last year. However, there were still people who thought Texas could pull off the upset. Especially on the basis of the prior year performance. An objective hard core college football watcher could see Texas had the ability to go toe-to-toe with Alabama.

Honestly, the best comparison goes back to the USC game. ESPN had that website dedicated to the "best teams in history" (i.e. Trojans) and actually debated if USC could beat the worst NFL teams. That Rose Bowl game is the last time I remember general consensus this lopsided.

Personally, I lean toward Texas likely losing, but making it very close in the fourth quarter. However, I can see a scenario where Texas raises their level of effort or Will Howard presses too much.

By Friday night....
