Former Heisman Trophy Winner Thinks Texas Longhorns Have “Real Argument” for 2025 College Football Playoff

The Texas Longhorns are hoping they have done enough to convince the College Football Playoff Selection Committee to make the CFP after a 9-3 (6-2 SEC) season. While there is a conversation regarding it, there is one former Heisman Trophy winner who believes they have a legitimate argument to do so. Let’s take a deeper dive into the comments here.

Tim Tebow Believes Texas Longhorns Have “Real Argument” for College Football Playoff

While joining SportsCenter on Saturday morning ahead of SEC Nation, former Heisman Trophy winner and current ESPN college football analyst Tim Tebow discussed how he believes the Texas Longhorns have done enough to make the 2025 College Football Playoff.

“I think there’s a real argument, to be honest. When you look at what they have done this year, they lost to the No. 1 team in the country. They played five top 10 teams in the country, when they played them, they’re 3-2 and the two losses are on the road. I think the two biggest arguments is who they have played and how they’re playing now. Now, do I think the committee is going to put them in unless crazy things happen? Probably not. Are they one of the 12 best teams in college football right now. I think you can make the argument that they’re one of the top 12 best teams.”

The Texas Longhorns entered the week as the 16th-ranked program and would need to jump a handful of teams to make the tournament. However, crazier things have happened, and some teams ahead of them are in a position where they can drop. Of course, it is going to be difficult as Texas will not be in the SEC Championship Game to compete for to get them an automatic bid.

It is going to be intriguing to see if the College Football Playoff Selection Committee listens to coach Steve Sarkisian’s plea and puts the Longhorns in the CFP.
