The past two weeks certainly haven’t gone the way Texas fans would have liked, with two losses by a combined four points. It’s a tough pill to swallow — after all, fourteen days ago, Texas was sitting at number six, with just one loss and their eyes set on a potential College Football Playoff appearance.
Now, those visions of a top four finish are all but gone. Even winning the Big 12 will now require some help, as Texas sits third in the conference and no longer controls its own destiny to wind up in the conference championship game.
