The Texas Longhorns during the 2024 college football season had a 11-1 record during the regular season. Texas made it to the SEC Championship Game before they lost to the Georgia Bulldogs in overtime.
The Longhorns are going to have a similar schedule in 2025. Texas will be one of the favorites to win the conference and also win the college football playoffs next season. There is a lot of turnover for the Longhorns roster for the upcoming season, but head coach Steve Sarkisian will have his team focused on the primary goals ahead.
CBS Sports Predicts That the Texas Longhorns Will Win 10 Games In 2025
CBS Sports writer Brandon Marcello made predictions for the over/under win totals for each SEC team ahead of the 2025 college football season. The over/under win total for the Longhorns for 2025 is 9.5 wins. Marcello thinks that the Longhorns are going to win 10 games next season. He said,
“This is an incredibly difficult pick, so I’m not sure I would touch this win total if I were a betting man. I believe the margin for error is wide for the Volunteers this fall — wider than LSU and Ole Miss — which makes me hesitate. Even so, I’m high on Rocky Top this offseason. I love Nico Iamaleava, and though he faces immense pressure with an $8 million NIL deal, he has the talent to excel in Josh Heupel’s offense this fall. Plus, the defense is set to continue its top-10 finishes with 67% of its production returning, according to ESPN’s SP+.
Oh, and that schedule is conducive to a double-digit win season. The Vols get Georgia and Oklahoma at home and travel to Alabama and Florida. We’ll go with an upset win against Georgia to push the Vols to 10 victories. There’s a wide spread here, and four losses are not out of the question, either. Pick: Over 9.5 (+118)”
He has the Longhorns losing to the Bulldogs and the Buckeyes next season. It is not a surprise this is the case. Texas’s only losses during the 2024 season was to Georgia twice and Ohio State in the college football playoffs semifinals.
The Longhorns and the Buckeyes game to start the season will have a lot of people on edge. If Texas can steal that game on the road in Columbus, Ohio, it will catch everyone’s attention because they won it all last season. Arch Manning will be the starting quarterback for Texas this season after Quinn Ewers departed for the NFL Draft. The Longhorns should be able to win more than 9.5 games despite the hard schedule.
