The Texas Longhorns put on a show in their 49-21 victory over Oklahoma State, ending a 13-year drought without a conference title. This win, the longest in school history, sent a clear message to the College Football Playoff selection committee. The Longhorns made it known that they belong in the CFP, and the committee should take notice.

The Big 12 commissioner acknowledged the Longhorns' dominant performance, recognizing that they deserve a spot in the CFP. However, the committee may have other ideas, especially after Alabama's upset of No. 1 Georgia in the SEC title game. The debate over whether the SEC should be shut out of the CFP opens the door for Texas to make its case.

In their victory over Oklahoma State, the Longhorns' offense was unstoppable, breaking multiple Big 12 title game records. Quarterback Quinn Ewers had a standout performance, setting records for yards gained, passing yards, completions, and tying another with four touchdowns. Texas also broke Oklahoma's Big 12 title game record for total offense, showcasing their offensive prowess.

Despite the impressive performance, the committee's decision remains uncertain. Texas has proven that they can compete with the best, and their tough schedule and NFL-caliber personnel make a strong case for a CFP berth. The Longhorns have shown that they deserve the opportunity, and it's up to the committee to recognize their potential.
