Projection: likely out

Texas has faced a challenging season with a mix of high-profile wins and damaging losses. While securing victories against solid teams like Missouri and Texas A&M showcases their competitive spirit, inconsistent performances against top-tier opponents—such as their defeats to Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee—raise concerns about their ability to compete at an elite level. Their defense has struggled against powerful offenses, evidenced by the lopsided loss to Alabama, and their overall record lacks enough marquee wins to confidently bolster their tournament resume. Additionally, the narrow losses and struggles on the road further complicate their standing, leaving them in a precarious position as the season progresses. To improve their chances, they need to secure convincing wins in their remaining games, ideally against ranked opponents, to bolster their case significantly.
