With the first College Football Playoff rankings approaching, the Texas football team has hopes of claiming a high spot.
Despite missing quarterback Quinn Ewers for two games and enduring several other key injuries, No. 6 Texas (7-1, 3-1 SEC) remains a heavy favorite to seize one of the 12 spots in the first year of the expanded CFP. Winning the SEC would ensure the Longhorns of one of the top four seeds, and Texas still has an almost clear path to the SEC title game Dec. 7 in Atlanta if it wins the rest of its four regular-season games.
If the Longhorns don’t win the SEC title, the best-case scenario would be claiming one the Nos. 5-8 seeds and hosting a first-round playoff game.
