AUSTIN, Texas |...It's been an anvil around their necks since that afternoon in October, when the Texas Longhorns lost the Red River Rivalry to the Oklahoma Sooners - keeping the Horns from going undefeated this season.
But 12-1 may just be enough to make the College Football Playoffs (CFP).
Texas won't know until about noon today, when the CFP committee announces the four finalists. The Horns have an outside chance of getting one spot. Three of them, we say, are taken by undefeated Michigan, Washington and Florida State.
In the hunt for the last spot are Texas, Alabama and Georgia.
This was all set in motion after Alabama beat Georgia yesterday, dealing the Bulldogs their first loss of the season. Texas, as college football fans know, knocked off Alabama 34-24 earlier in the season, a victory Horns Coach Steve Sarkisian sees as the biggest win of college football.
He exaggerates, but that's okay.
Texas took care of business Saturday afternoon, when the Horms easily beat Oklahoma State 48-21 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington to win the Big 12 Championship.
Now, it's hurry up and wait...

Looks like they made it. Go Texas!!!!
