Ted Cruz calls Texas' loss to Oklahoma 'heartbreaking'; team hopes to sneak into College Football Playoff

16.11.2023 - 11:53 foxnews.com

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, appears on 'Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich' to talk Texas Longhorns football. The Texas Longhorns are in the midst of a fantastic college football season, and if not for a loss to Oklahoma earlier this year, they would have an inside track to a playoff berth.

Texas lost to Oklahoma last month 34-30 in what could be the deciding factor in whether Texas makes the College Football Playoff.

The Longhorns have a win over No. 8 Alabama, which came in the second game of the season, but it may not matter if the Crimson Tide win out. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Sen.

Michigan earned the No. 1 seed in the playoff after easily defeating Iowa in the Big Ten championship on Saturday, and Washington got the No. 2 seed after edging out Oregon in a classic Pac-12 championship. The two remaining spots were big question marks heading into Sunday afternoon, but Texas was given the No. 3 seed after taking care of business in the Big 12 championship game by blowing out Oklahoma State.
