Though the Longhorns are in a great spot record-wise at 7-2 (4-1 in SEC), their path to a potential college football playoff berth could be pretty tricky going forward. Texas' finally three opponents most likely hold the key to whether or not they'll be able to punch their ticket for the postseason.
According to CBS Sports' Danny Kanell, there's one realistic scenario left that could result in the Longhorns making it to the playoffs this season.
He believes that it's going to be incredibly hard for Texas to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens following the Longhorns' bye week this weekend, and if they actually do end up falling to 7-3, they absolutely have to win out after that.
