Texas enters Saturday night as the No. 3 team in the current College Football Playoff rankings, on track to both qualify for the 12-team field and earn a first-round bye (given to the winner of each of the Power 4 conferences). The Longhorns will quickly lose that comfortable position with a loss Saturday night.

Thanksgiving Week has blessed us with rivalry games — old and renewed — featuring endless conference tiebreaker and College Football Playoff scenarios, including Michigan at Ohio State, a top-15 Palmetto Bowl and the return of Texas versus Texas A&M.

One notable matchup is a long-standing rivalry that is making a return after more than a decade. This game features the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (10-1) facing off against the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies (8-3). The last time these two teams competed against each other was in 2011, when Texas won with a walk-off field goal.
