Paul Finebaum sounds off on Texas’ College Football Playoff path
Our Summary
The Texas Longhorns, led by Arch Manning, concluded their regular season with a significant 27-17 victory over No. 3 ranked Texas A&M. This win improved their record to 9-3. Despite their strong finish, Texas faces an uncertain future regarding the College Football Playoff due to their three losses, including an early-season defeat to Ohio State. The Longhorns' choice to face a challenging schedule, rather than opting for easier early-season opponents, has sparked debate about their playoff eligibility. Notable analyst Paul Finebaum and coach Steve Sarkisian argue that Texas deserves a playoff spot, crediting their competitive schedule and near-win against No. 1 Ohio State. The decision now rests with the playoff selection committee.
