It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year: bowl season. The college football regular season reaches the pinnacle of the year as teams head into their final games.
There’s still plenty to be sorted out, but we can more reliably predict which teams will make the biggest games. The top teams have separated and the field of playoff contenders is all but narrowed down to eight teams.
The Texas Longhorns are one of those playoff contenders. The team is past many of the minefields that could have upended its season. Now the team’s season is down to just one regular season test and a potential Big 12 title game.
Texas faces Texas Tech (6-5) on Black Friday for the right to play in the Big 12 title game. The team would face one of three teams in No. 14 Oklahoma (9-2), No. 21 Kansas State (8-3) or No. 23 Oklahoma State (8-3).
Let’s predict the playoff entering the final week of the regular season.
