Texas football Quinn Ewers message CFP committee

After winning the Big 12 Championship, Texas football's Quinn Ewers believes Longhorns should make College Football Playoff. Former NFL quarterbacks agree.

Quinn Ewers, star quarterback for Texas football, is confident that the Longhorns should be selected for the College Football Playoff after their impressive victory in the Big 12 Championship Game. The team's fate now rests in the hands of the selection committee, and there is a strong case to be made for their inclusion in the playoffs.

Having secured the Big 12 championship in their final season with the conference before transitioning to the SEC, Texas has proven themselves as a formidable force in college football. Despite a close loss to Oklahoma, the Longhorns have consistently performed at a high level throughout the season, with notable victories over top-ranked teams like Alabama.

Ewers, who set a record for the most passing yards in Big 12 Championship Game history, led the team to a decisive win over Oklahoma State, further solidifying their position as a strong contender for the playoffs. Many, including Ewers himself and former NFL quarterbacks RGIII and Dan Orlovsky, believe that Texas has earned their place among the top four teams in the nation.

The competition for the remaining playoff spots is fierce, with teams like Georgia, Alabama, and Florida State vying for a chance to compete for the National Championship. However, Texas' impressive performance and championship title make a compelling argument for their inclusion.

As the selection committee deliberates, the Longhorns can only wait and hope that their achievements on the field will be recognized. Regardless of the outcome, their victory in the Big 12 Championship Game is a moment to be celebrated as they look forward to their future in the SEC.
