Texas Longhorns' Playoff Chances Hinge on Crucial Georgia Clash
13 Nov
Summary
- Texas ranked No. 10 in current CFP rankings, but only 49% chance to make playoffs
- Longhorns face tough games against Georgia, Arkansas, and Texas A&M
- Beating Georgia is the most important win for Texas to boost playoff chances
As of November 13, 2025, the Texas Longhorns find themselves in a precarious position in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. The team is currently ranked No. 10, but their chances of making the playoffs are only 49%, according to ESPN's FPI computers.
The Longhorns face a daunting task in the coming weeks, with three tough games remaining on their schedule. They will travel to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs this Saturday, followed by home matchups against the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Texas A&M Aggies.
If the Longhorns win out, their spot in the CFP is guaranteed. However, if they lose two of their final three games, their playoff hopes will be dashed. The key to their postseason aspirations lies in the outcome of the Georgia game.
According to the ESPN Playoff Bracket Predictor, if the Longhorns beat the Bulldogs but lose to either Arkansas or Texas A&M, their chances of making the CFP jump to 65%. Conversely, if they lose to Georgia but win the final two games, their chances are still a respectable 64%.
The Longhorns' fate is firmly in their own hands, and their performance in the coming weeks will determine whether they can secure a coveted spot in the College Football Playoff.
