If Texas takes care of business and wins the SEC Championship Game, they will see a jump in the standings and earn a bye in the first round of the bracket. The SEC is a complex mix of playoffs, with five teams having one conference loss. Naturally, the schedule should resolve these tiebreakers, but stranger things have happened, like an undefeated Power Four team missing the CFP.

Here are some social media reactions to Texas’ ranking.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers (3) lies in the pocket against the Vanderbilt Commodores during the first half at FirstBank Stadium on Oct. 26, 2024 in Nashville.

Texas is fifth in the first CFP rankings, but it would be sixth in the group because No. 2 Ohio State is behind projected Big Ten champion Oregon. That moves the Horns to the No. 6 seed in the bracket, which would mean a first-round matchup with No. 11 Alabama in Austin.

Extremely good draw for the Longhorns, they won and Texas is probably in one of the top four spots in the Playoffs (1, 2, 5, 6 seed) https://t.co/EhEIwcwBYa

“You can argue that their resume is actually better than several other one-loss teams that are likely to be in front of them, like Texas and Penn State.” #Vols | #GBO pic.twitter.com/GreMaK2NEZ

BYU has wins over CFP #13 SMU and #19 KSU, has no losses and is ranked behind Miami, Indiana, Penn State and more. What’s the point of the CFP and resume building if you’re only beholden to preseason AP polls? #BYUFootball #cfjokes

You know you’re in Texas when the Mexican restaurant hosting Ted Cruz’s election night watch party airs ESPN commentary on college football instead of replaying the election night results.
