With its football season on the line, Texas made several key mistakes at Sanford Stadium and was outscored 21-0 in the fourth quarter of a 35-10 loss against Georgia.
Finding a way into the College Football Playoff will be tricky, but the Longhorns have a resume that stacks up with even two-loss teams in the country, and if Ohio State can win the Big Ten, it will only help them out more. Winning out, chaos, and patience could be enough for a path for the Longhorns, but the odds aren't too great in their favor.
Georgia didn’t officially lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff by knocking off Texas in their prime-time clash, but they came pretty close.

The Texas Longhorns (7-3) return home on Saturday afternoon looking to rebound from a resounding loss when they host the Arkansas Razorbacks (2-8), who have lost eight straight games and are 0-6 in the Southeastern Conference.
