Longhorns will face Wolverines in Citrus Bowl
Digest more
Here are a couple of reasons why the Texas Longhorns missing the College Football Playoff could actually benefit the program.
How Texas got its record has been the center of its playoff case. It suffered the season-opening loss to Ohio State 14-7 in Columbus, which ended up being the closest game the Buckeyes played during their undefeated regular season. The Longhorns also lost at Georgia by 25 points in Week 12.
As a consolation prize, the Longhorns will play the University of Michigan in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31 in Orlando.
The Texas Longhorns have a vote of confidence from Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart ahead of the final College Football Playoff rankings.
