It's a big weekend as the Longhorns return to the field Saturday afternoon to begin their SEC schedule...but before that, it's the beginning of another era.

Exactly nobody in the national media predicts the Horns can even cover, much less win. So perhaps Texas should just forfeit and donate the travel expenses to the School of Nursing.

I know Texas fans are either too busy fighting with Aggies on the definition of targeting or feeling sorry for themselves for winning a playoff game....
But this is a very winnable bracket. LFG.

Arizona State was going to have to be aggressive to win on defense, Texas used that against them. Two plays.

The Horns aren't the best team in the College Football Playoff, but they don't have to be - survive and advance. We take a look at that game and the other three in what should be a fun weekend.

The two matchups with Georgia have shown that the Horns are a talented, yet flawed team -- the good news is that so are the other eleven teams in the playoffs.
