Could the Texas Longhorns mess around and make the College Football Playoff this year?

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the league in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Will Texas Tech basketball take a step forward or back next season?

Carlton: Well, it will be kind of hard for Texas Tech to take a step forward next season, short of winning the Big 12 or advancing to the Final Four. Tech does lose an impactful senior class (including Keenan Evans). And the decision by Zhaire Smith to enter the NBA draft, while not unexpected, is still a hit losing a special talent.
