A loss to rival Oklahoma hurts, but it will take a lot more to derail Texas' College Football Playoff path

The Texas Longhorns suffered a football loss against their rival Oklahoma. Despite the defeat, analysis indicates that the team's path to the College Football Playoff remains viable.

Texas possesses sufficient resume power to potentially contend for a spot in the 12-team playoff field, even with the possibility of finishing the season with three losses. This strength is bolstered by a marquee victory over Ohio State combined with the challenges of competing in a grueling SEC schedule.
