ESPN's Greg McElroy believes a loss against the Aggies could completely knock No. 3 Texas out of the College Football Playoff.
Love them or hate them, there is no doubt that Steve Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns have taken the SEC by storm in their first season in the conference.
However, despite the team's success, many have made note of the Longhorns' seemingly easy schedule, and Texas does not have a win against any teams currently in the Top 25 rankings. The Longhorns will be their final ranked opponent, a rivalry renewal 13 years in the making, and a lot more could be riding on this game than many believe. They would need this win just about as bad as their rivals would to keep their quest for a championship alive.While there is still a possibility that the two Texas schools could face either one week later in the SEC Championship game, McElroy believes that a loss in College Station could knock Texas out of the 12-team playoff field.
