The No. 13 Texas Longhorns will be without some key players when they head to Florida to take on the Michigan Wolverines, who are somehow even more in flux.
They recently named Kyle Wittingham as their permanent head coach, who will take over for Biff Pogi, who led the charge following Sherrone Moore's firing earlier in December. They will be missing their two best pass rushers, an NFL-caliber offensive lineman, and will have a new playcaller for the offense.
What does that mean for the matchup and will Texas get to 10 wins this year?
Ahead of the Texas Longhorns' Citrus Bowl matchup against the Michigan Wolverines, we bring on TJ Ronin from the Michigan Voice of College Football network to help us do a deeper dive on the Wolverines.
We talk coaching turmoil, Bryce Underwood, finding a pass rush, and which Michigan player would make the best professional wrestler.
The Texas Longhorns had high hopes for the NCAA Postseason and fell just a few games short of that, falling to the Wisconsin Badgers in the Round of 8.
It was an uncharacteristically sloppy game for Texas, which Wisconsin took advantage of and nearly swept the Longhorns on their home court. Texas battled back, but couldn't withstand the Badgers' offense and fell short.
The Texas Longhorns found themselves on the outside looking in at the CFP field, setting up a New Year's Eve matchup against the Michigan Wolverines.
We share our feelings on the committee's decision and what we hope can change in the future to make things more transparent. We also dive in on the players leaving in the transfer portal and break down the recruiting class.
For the second year in a row, the Texas Longhorns came out of the Black Friday matchup with a convincing win over their rival, the Texas A&M Aggies.
Texas dominated the second half, taking advantage of the Aggies' aggression on defense and turning it into their best running performance of the year. Defensively, Texas managed to bottle up one of the most explosive offenses in the country and turned over quarterback Marcel Reed on consecutive plays to seal the game.
The recently renewed rivalry game between Texas and Texas A&M always has big stakes, but this year's edition is even bigger.
For Texas, a win over the Aggies will give the CFP committee a lot to think about when it comes to decision time. For Texas A&M, cementing an undefeated regular season with a win over a hated rival would be the icing on the sweetest cake.
The first of two home rivalry matchups went the Texas Longhorns' way, with Arch Manning turning in a career night against the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Longhorns' best offensive performance of the year.
Manning found his receivers early and often, needing to get the offense going in a hurry to counteract the defense's continued struggles against the potent Arkansas offense.
The Texas Longhorns have two games left on the schedule, a pair of home rivalry games, kicked off with a tilt against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Arkansas comes to Austin with one of the most potent offenses in the country, but is shackled to one of the worst defenses. How will they stack up against a Texas team that still doesn't know who they are week-to-week?
For the third time in the last two seasons, the Texas Longhorns have squared off with the Georgia Bulldogs and came away with a loss.
Kirby Smart and his staff once again ran circles around Steve Sarkisian and Texas was unable to find its way in the game. A disastrous fourth quarter took what was once a tight game and turned it into a blowout.
So where does Texas go from here?
The No. 10 Texas Longhorns seemingly control their path to the College Football Playoff, and that path is simple: Win and you're in.
That run starts on Saturday as they head to Athens, GA, to take on a Georgia Bulldogs squad that is looking to close out its SEC slate and keep itself alive for the conference title. They've had to eek out a few close wins over the last few weeks, but a win is a win and they have won all but one contest this year, an early-season matchup against Alabama.
What do we see as the keys to victory for Texas and can they get it done on the road?
The Texas Longhorns men's and women's basketball teams both tipped off the 2025-26 seasons over the weekend, with positive showings from both squads.
While the men split the weekend 1-1, Texas led after one half against a Duke team that will likely play for a national championship. The Blue Devils got hot late and put away Texas, but the Longhorns reobunded quickly and got a big ranked win.
The ladies picked up right where they left off last year, with three dominant wins to open the season and put the world on notice. Can Texas really compete for a spot in the national championship game and avenge last season's struggles?
The Texas Longhorns' penchant for late-game fireworks nearly cost them yet again, leaving a window for Vanderbilt to try and recover an onside kick to send the game to overtime.
Texas put up a huge number early and led by multiple scores for most of the game, but a combination of blown coverage and poor officiating left the door open. What can Texas fix going into the bye week to set themselves up for success against Georgia?
The Texas Longhorns are back on the Forty Acres for the first time in a month with a chance to make a statement. Vanderbilt is one of the hottest teams in the country with a quarterback poised to be a star.
Texas is coming off of back-to-back overtime wins on the road, hoping to knock off Vanderbilt and continue its climb back to the postseason.
The Texas Longhorns capped off their long road stretch with another cardiac victory, erasing a 17-point deficit to beat Mississippi State in overtime.
It was a downright ugly performance from Texas both offensively and defensively, but they found a way to win on both sides of the ball and kept their postseason dreams alive.
Has Texas found a solution to what plagues the offense and how can the defense right the ship?
The Texas Longhorns are closing out their month away from home with a trip to Starkville and need to make it out with a win.
If the Longhorns can make that happen, they will continue to hold their path to the SEC Championship. If they lose, their hopes for the postseason are slim at best. What can Texas do to keep itself in the running in a wild year?
The Texas Longhorns once again found themselves sturggling with an SEC opponent on the road, with Kentucky clawing back to force overtime.
Texas did just enough to get it done in Lexington, but they can't play like that against stiffer competition. What does this game mean for Texas long term?
The Texas Longhorns are back in the top-25 and back on the road, heading to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats to try to put together a win streak.
Kentucky is a team in peril, coming off of a bye week after decisively losing back-to-back SEC games. Head coach Mark Stoops came into the season on the hot seat and it has only gotten warmer as the Wildcats lost games.
The Texas Longhorns were a team in need of a decisive win to keep their season on the right track and got exactly what they needed against the Oklahoma Sooners.
Texas continued its streak of defensive dominance against the Sooners, holding them without an offensive touchdown in three of the last four matchups. The Longhorns' offense didn't set the world on fire, but did exactly what they needed to win the game and keep the Goldent Hat in Austin.
The Texas Longhorns come into the Cotton Bowl unranked with their backs against the wall.
After looking completely outmatched against the Florida Gators, Texas cannot afford to drop another game and fall to 3-3 on the year. Not only will it eliminate them from this year's CFP contention, but it will arrest the momentum they seemingly built after two trips to the postseason.
The Texas Longhorns went into Gainesville as a top-10 team and left with an embarrassing loss and a trip out of the Top 25. Texas looked outclassed on both lines, leading to the Longhorns' rushing issues and multiple Gators turning in career performances in the game.
What plagues Texas and what does this mean for the rest of the season?
