Texas’ CFP Future Could Look Very Different After Reported 24-Team Expansion
The Texas Longhorns are on a narrow path to make it to the College Football Playoff in 2026.
Even with four top-20 wins under their belt, the Longhorns' margin for error, while larger than most teams with two losses, is still very slim with two losses already on their résumé.
That is, at least, according to the precedent set by the CFP over the last two years, in which no team with more than two losses has made the field.
However, regardless of what happens this season, that precedent is set to change in a major way in 2027.
