Longhorns Daily News: Is Texas football’s game against Georgia a playoff lite?

Word on the sports media streets is that Texas football has a very, very small chance of qualifying for this season’s College Football Playoff if they end the regular season with three losses. That makes this weekend’s game against Georgia, and in Athens, something of a playoff lite matchup, according to recent reporting in 247Sports.

“That win got Texas into the playoff ahead of Georgia [in 2023], and this game in Athens could end up having the same kind of playoff importance,” a source told 247Sports.
