Texas did everything it could to secure a College Football Playoff berth at Saturday’s Big 12 championship game, scoring a dominant 49–21 win over Oklahoma State. The Longhorns, who entered the weekend No. 7 in the CFP rankings, improve to 12–1 on the season with a conference title belt to their credit.
Of course, Steve Sarkisian’s team does not control its own Playoff destiny. Although the 28-point victory should impress the selection committee, Texas could use some mayhem in the three remaining Power 5 conference title matchups.
No. 3 Washington almost certainly has locked up a Playoff berth, moving to 13–0 with a second win over No. 5 Oregon in Friday’s Pac-12 championship game.
