AND USA TODAY RANKS THE ut Cows as . . . ?

5. Texas Longhorns​

©Scott Wachter-USA TODAY SportsCan the Longhorns improve on their performance last season? Texas reached the College Football Playoff and nearly mounted a miraculous comeback against Washington in the semifinal. Now, the Longhorns are joining the SEC with a ton of confidence. Star quarterback Quinn Ewers is back, and he will be protected by an experienced line that maintains four starters -- including preseason All-American Kelvin Banks Jr. Texas has a pair of really good running backs and added a handful of weapons through the transfer portal. The biggest question will be how UT will replace defensive stars Byron Murphy II and T’Vondre Sweat.

Oh for the love of the burnt orange Long Whores!

Meh. They return a bunch of starters including the QB from a playoff team. It's a fair pick. They should be heavily favored in most games and probably not underdogs in any. Will they choke as they have so often before? Maybe. Is it reasonable to predict that they won't? Probably.

My Frogs always seem to better when we start the season off of everyone's radar.

OSU - Okie, Arizona, Utah, and Kansas are all in the top 25 of the USA poll.

As long as they play in Austin and SARK is the coach, anything is possible with this team including doing less with more!!! LOL!

THEY ARE BAAAAAACK

Three certainties in this existence:

1. Death
2. Taxes
3. The Horns will always finish a season ranked lower than where they began the season.

They had 12 players drafted. I don't care what school you are, that's going to take a bite out of your depth.

In the most recent season they started the year at #11 and finished #3.

But I guess.

Returning a bunch of player is what happens when you don’t have a money tree but rather a money forest to fund the NIL program.

Careful casting those stones. Who's the only Texas team to lose by 58 points in the NC game?

One year?

One year?

To be fair, it was in response to your death and taxes comment, which was implying it has never happened and will never happen. When it literally just happened.

Consult the definition of "hyperbole" in a good dictionary.

And the season before that ended up at 25 after starting unranked.

We were there…

Technically the lowest margin of defeat by any Texas school in the CFP final.

So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
