2024 College Football Playoff Shakeup: Which Surprising Teams Could Crash the 12-Team Field?
2. Texas (8-1)
- Current committee rank: No. 3
- TRACR: 35.1 (No. 2)
- Playoff potential: 99.6 (No. 3)
The Longhorns are the best bet to win the SEC, and whoever takes that crown will seed no worse than No. 2 in the playoff field. I like how the Longhorns grow good running backs on trees, and I like how Steve Sarkisian has dialed up winning game plans for Quinn Ewers after an injury earlier in the season seemed to rob him of some of the typical zip he puts on the ball.
Most importantly, the Horns have the best defensive TRACR in the country and have mostly dominated on that side of the ball. (The main exceptions are games against Georgia and Vanderbilt in which turnovers put the defense in losing positions.)
