Longhorns LEFT OUT of CFP! Florida Loss Dooms Texas to No. 13 Ranking

by | Dec 8, 2025 | Dallas, Pigskin & Burnt Ends Texas College Football Podcast, Texas Longhorns Daily Blitz

Welcome in, Longhorns fans. It’s a gloomy Selection Sunday, and the Florida faceplant has officially come back to bite Texas. Despite a 9–3 season, three Top-15 wins, and competitive battles with Ohio State and Georgia, the Longhorns land at No. 13 — missing the 12-team College Football Playoff.

Timm “IndyCarTim” Hamm breaks down why Texas was left out, how the Florida loss became the anchor that sank their playoff hopes, and why the committee viewed that October meltdown as the deciding factor.

Meanwhile, rivals Texas A&M and Oklahoma all punched playoff tickets — turning the knife even deeper.

In today’s episode:
🔥 Why the loss at Florida mattered more than anything else
🔥 How the committee evaluated Texas vs. other bubble teams
🔥 Why the “don’t schedule tough OOC games” crowd is wrong
🔥 What this means for Arch Manning and 2026
🔥 Why the Longhorns still have momentum heading into next season

Texas didn’t miss because of Ohio State. They didn’t miss because of Georgia.
They missed because of one bad night in Gainesville.

On to next season, Horns fans.
