NCAAF Social media reacts to Texas’ College Football Playoff ranking
The College Football Playoff committee announced their first rankings of the year, sparking a social media frenzy.
Texas is officially ranked No. 7, directly ahead of Alabama at No. 8 and Oklahoma at No. 9.
The Longhorns beating Alabama certainly holds its weight, whereas Texas’ loss to Oklahoma doesn’t hurt as much due to Kansas upsetting the Sooners.
This is the highest Texas has ever been ranked in the College Football Playoff era, and they will look to climb as the year progresses.
Texas will face an adamant Kansas State team on Saturday as the Wildcats travel to DKR for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff.

The Texas Longhorns have their highest ranking in the CFP era at No. 7, and they are set to face No. 23 Kansas State this weekend. A win will certainly help Texas' resume.

This should work. Texas can go as far as they can win.

This is perfect for Texas. A few teams in front of us are going to lose or lose again. We should definitely get in if we win out

@PatMcAfeeShow Call me crazy but I still think the @TexasLonghorns are one of the top 3 teams. The loss to OU was a game that they should have won but OU pulled one out of their ass at the end to win. https://t.co/3AfGGQAGSL
