(24.11) I don't like it any more than y'all do but their win against OSU still holds a lot of weight

Down 4 - close losses to #24 and rival, has wins vs #4 and at #12

1.967 [8.00-4.00]

Comparable opponent with Indiana + Massively outsized SOS difference.

ELITE wins over Ohio St and Tennessee but 2 losses....Florida is fine but OU is...less so.

Texas is 4-2 with a pair of nice wins over Ohio State (6-1) and Tennessee (6-1). Lost to Florida and Oklahoma

Texas has among the best wins in the country, with quality wins over Ohio State, Tennessee, and UTSA. But the back to back losses to Oklahoma and Florida are rough. The Ohio State win is the only thing saving their playoff dreams.

Losing two weeks in a row is dirty work, but 3 points each isn't so bad, and they still have 2 top 10 wins by this week's rankings. Arch is holding them back for sure, but there is still time to right the ship.

Jimmy Haslam is gonna break into the war room like The Undertaker on draft day and force Andrew Barry to draft Manning with the Browns' first round pick. That should tell you how ass and overrated Arch has been this year.

On a more serious note, Texas' playoff hopes are on the ropes now. While the Longhorns are still talented, playcalling and mistakes down the stretch have been this team's undoing.

Comment: I was willing to chalk up the Oklahoma loss as rivalry game funkiness, but losing to Florida too really sank my opinion of the Longhorns. Wins against Ohio State and Tennessee are doing a lot of work here right now

So. Predictable.

Manning. Idk. Are the expectations too high because of his name? Is he doing decent but not living up to Heisman hope? Is he terrible but just sticking around because of his name? It's hard to say. He is an enigma. Strictly speaking looking at his stats, Texas isn't really winning because of him, or losing because of him. Though he has had a few last drive interceptions on the season now.

Oh dear. That offense has only regressed. Back-to-back losses to unranked teams (including a hated rival) is absolutely killer.

I was shocked when I put together this top 25 and Texas didn't drop out of the top 10. However, instead of their two bad losses moving them down, it instead devalued the SEC. Texas, outside of their great win against Ohio St, beat Tennessee. Tennessee has a slightly better resume than Georgia, who beat Alabama, meaning Texas must be ranked over Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Kentucky, and the rest of the SEC. This won't hold if their free fall continues (which I expect it will) but for the time being they stay at #8.

3rd–23rd in 8 of 10 brackets
Texas has head-to-head wins over Ohio State and Tennessee, which give it 43 rule wins, including Alabama, Indiana and Northwestern. Its two 3-point losses, to Oklahoma and Florida, chain into 9 rule losses, the most in the top 10. Its 3rd–23rd range is the widest in the top 10.

While this may seem high for a team that has struggled so much, it would be foolish to forget that they beat both #3 and #6. Wins-wise, that's the best resume in the country. Unfortunately, they have two rough losses, holding them back. But I do not think some precipitous fall is warranted given their huge wins.

Texas is so difficult to evaluate. 2 wins over top ranked teams, and 2 losses to teams that were unranked. Their wins over Ohio State and Tennessee continue to look great. But their loss to Oklahoma looks even worse, and with loosing to Florida the team has little to no margin for error moving forward.

Arch is NOT good.

Still a strong team and strong wins despite recent stretch

Not sure if you’re good or bad

can't wait for them to win against some overranked SEC team to throw them back into the top 12

one of the more overrated teams (by me, but still). match them up against ole miss already so i can remove this bum team from my list...

Two losses in a row for the Texas Longhorns. I still think this team is a top 25 team, although I certainly dropped other teams other teams for 2 losses. Texas's wins vs OSU and Tenn are what are propping this team up - obviously these are good wins - but I'm not sure how Texas plans to bounce back. They have a tough game this weekend as they host Ole Miss. Ole Miss has been exposed before, but they have also played and beaten some good competition. If Texas's QB woes continue, they could be in real trouble as their next 4 games have obvious danger potential. Ole Miss, followed by Miss St, Mizzou, and LSU, in that order. Miss St's danger potential depends on the health of their team, as they were without their 3 best players against LSU this past weekend, and Mizzou needs to bounce back from a thrashing by Ole Miss, but being wounded doesn't mean they're not dangerous. Very curious to see what happens to this former #1 Team.
