Texas fans, here’s something to chew on: the Longhorns are sticking with high-profile matchups like Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Michigan, but there’s real debate about whether playing these powerhouses actually helps or hurts their playoff chances. Athletic director Chris Del Conte loves the big games, but worries the playoff system punishes teams for tough schedules. Meanwhile, bowl games are losing their shine as more players opt out or transfer, and even programs like Notre Dame are skipping bowls altogether. Is college football losing what made it special, or is this just the new normal? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball
