Texas’ regular-season finale against Kansas was canceled due to COVID-19, finishing with a 6-3 record. The Longhorns will now wait around to find out which bowl game they will be playing in.
In the latest College Football Playoff rankings, Texas stayed at No. 20. Out of the four weeks of the rankings, the Longhorns have been ranked in three of them.
Iowa State moved up one spot to No. 6, moving them closer towards the top four. Losses by Clemson in the ACC championship and by Ohio State in the Big Ten could see the Cyclones jump into the playoff. The committee would have to debate between them and Texas A&M.
Oklahoma (No. 10) and Oklahoma State (No. 21) are the only other conference teams ranked. The Sooners will be in the way of Iowa State’s playoff bid on Saturday in the Big 12 championship.
Here is the full top 25:
- Alabama
- Notre Dame
- Clemson
- Ohio State
- Texas A&M
- Iowa State
- Florida
- Georgia
- Cincinnati
- Oklahoma
- Indiana
- Coastal Carolina
- USC
- Northwestern
- North Carolina
- Iowa
- BYU
- Miami
- Lousiana
- Texas
- Oklahoma State
- North Carolina State
- Tulsa
- San Jose State
- Colorado
If these were the final rankings, here is how the College Football Playoff would look:
Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 1 Alabama vs No. 4 Ohio State
Rose Bowl: No. 2 Notre Dame vs No. 3 Clemson
