There is plenty of hype building around Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian heading into the 2023 regular season. A few days ago, Big 12 media members voted Texas as the top team in the conference for the 2023 campaign. Texas is also the odds-on favorite from most sportsbooks among Big 12 teams to make the College Football Playoff in 2023-24.
Granted, it does feel like a tired conversation to let the preseason hype get out of hand for the Longhorns, especially when discussing the potential for Texas to make the College Football Playoff.
