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