Steve Sarkisian says that the CFP committee should not punish the University of Texas for scheduling Ohio State, the nation's top team, as an out of conference opponent. If Texas had scheduled a different opponent, Sark says they would be 10-2 with a spot in the playoff.

What a career for Michael Taaffe in the Burnt Orange. I've covered the defensive back for the last 7 seasons, dating back to his time at Westlake. Now, on senior night, he gets an interception in his last game at DKR-TMS. #HookEm youtu.be/W0O-S8lwR2Y?si=CNw0…
