Did you do it?
Did you fade Texas?
I didn't do it.
After talking my talk,
after talking my nonsense about always fading Texas in big games, I
didn't think the Gator game was big enough.
Honest to gosh, I thought this was going
to be a game that Texas would win because I thought,
all right, they may not cover, but they're going to.
No, they were double digit home favorites and Florida beat Texas.
we are one loss away from Texas cashing my ticket
that i bet in the preseason for Texas to miss
the college football playoff three losses they're out okay
the Ohio State game right now gets them
and they have two losses plus the Ohio State win
that win in my mind if we were putting together
a bracket today i believe that Texas would
be in because of the win over Ohio State but the two
losses you give them three
and see you later they will be out of the college football playoff
bracket now I bet that so I am obviously cheering Ole Miss
this weekend could get the job done and
then Texas is out okay if Oklahoma keeps losing that loss gets worse
and worse okay they lost
over the weekend to Kentucky OU you know
that lost Oklahoma now the loss to Florida if both
Oklahoma and Florida go south
then that's going to really be detrimental to Texas in terms of
their resume to be one of the 12 teams in they're going
to have to be an at-large team they're not
going to win the SEC so now it's where does
the committee fall with that win over Ohio State and
if Ohio State wins the Big 10 that's a pretty big win right
that's a big feather in their cap but
with three losses that is not going to overcome
those three losses with the win over Ohio State
so huge loss i didn't bet it i should have i i
said look Arch Manning has been the most overrated
quarterback in quite some time
and Steve Sarkisian in key big games as the head coach just simply
doesn't get the job done they don't come through
when you need them to it is remarkable to watch
how they do it it's remarkable to stare at it
and go what is going on with Texas and be in big
moments because Longhorn fans
are beside themselves today they can't believe it they can't believe
they lost to Florida.
They lost to Oklahoma.
All right, that's a rivalry game.
It's Red River.
It's on a neutral at home.
They should have lost to Ohio State.
They should have.
That was a miracle comeback victory.
They didn't cover, but they won.
Bet I didn't make this weekend that I wish I did.
I wish I bet Florida against Texas.
