Paul Finebaum gives historic college football program no chance of making CFP

As the college football season progresses past Week 10, attention turns to potential College Football Playoff (CFP) contenders, particularly within the SEC. Alabama, Georgia, and Ole Miss remain strong candidates with only one loss each, while Alabama has an advantage with no conference losses. Texas A&M also remains undefeated, adding to the competitive landscape.

A group of teams with two losses — Vanderbilt, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee — still have a chance if they win out. Texas presents a unique situation, having one conference loss and a strong schedule, despite a non-conference loss to No. 1 Ohio State. However, Texas faces a challenging road ahead, including games against Georgia and Texas A&M, which could hinder their CFP prospects.

College football analyst Paul Finebaum expressed skepticism about Texas’ ability to make a CFP run, citing their daunting schedule. He noted on ESPN’s SportsCenter that Texas’ playoff hopes might end soon, despite the team’s recent improvements and potential standout performances
