Texas’ College Football Playoff aspirations took a hit following the Longhorns’ humbling defeat to Georgia, a loss that exposed vulnerabilities despite flashes of promise from Arch Manning.
While a single loss doesn’t eliminate a CFP contender, a blowout loss to a fellow top-tier team significantly damages Texas’ chances. The selection committee values strong finishes and “good losses,” but a decisive defeat raises serious questions about the Longhorns’ defensive capabilities and consistency in high-stakes situations. Manning, while highly touted, now faces the challenge of not only leading his team to win out but doing so convincingly to impress the committee and offset the Georgia loss.
Texas and Manning aren’t entirely out of the picture, but their path to the CFP now depends on both their own performance and significant external help. First, they must win their remaining games, starting against Arkansas in Austin on Saturday. Beyond that, multiple highly ranked teams would need to suffer losses — ideally one-loss teams falling to unranked or low-ranked opponents — to clear a path back into the top four. The committee will weigh Texas’ strength of schedule and overall body of work, including the Georgia game, against other one-loss contenders.
For Manning and the Longhorns, the priority must shift from simply competing to dominating, aiming for high-margin victories to show they are playing their best football at the most critical point of the season.
Follow along for updates as they take on Bobby Petrino and Arkansas on Saturday afternoon.
