We are approaching conference championship weekend, but the top four teams that will make it to the College Football Playoff are not guaranteed yet.
In any other year, if Texas were 11-1 heading to the Big 12 Championship game as they are now, the Longhorns would already be a lock in the top four. Unfortunately for the Longhorns, it is an odd year with more than four deserving teams in the College Football Playoff.
Texas must defeat Oklahoma State on Saturday in the Big 12 title game to have any chance of making it to the CFP, but that won’t be the only thing that needs to happen.
In a perfect scenario, Washington, Georgia, and Louisville would win this weekend, and Texas would secure the fourth seed.
Florida State’s odds of winning decreased with the loss of superstar quarterback Jordan Travis, but they still have a chance.
In my opinion, here are the teams every Texas fan should root for this weekend to better the Longhorns’ chances of reaching the CFP.
