Texas' loss to Georgia likely means the end of the Longhorns' bid for a place in a third straight CFP. Here are three reasons why Texas fell short in 2025.

It's not a playoff elimination game for the Longhorns since there's another titanic matchup this month with unbeaten and third-ranked Texas A&M on the horizon, but a victory over the Bulldogs would break the program's big-game curse under Steve Sarkisian and provide Texas with its third top-15 win of the season.

Georgia didn’t officially lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff by knocking off Texas in their prime-time clash, but they came pretty close.

With two weeks left in the college football regular season, the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl prospects for the Dec. 27 game (7:30 p.m., ABC) could involve blue-blood college programs such as Texas, Miami or Oklahoma. It also could involve 2025 upstarts Vanderbilt or Virginia.

Production designer Wynn Thomas and choreographer and actor Debbie Allen were also selected by the academy's board of governors to be honored for their storied careers, and an absent Dolly Parton was honored for a lifetime of philanthropy at the ceremony at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles.

Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, Georgia and Ole Miss make up the top five of this week's AP Top 25 college football rankings.

Texas A&M football captured its 10th win of the season Saturday. The victory had some positives, but also many areas to improve for the Aggies.
