COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- In its first season as a member of the SEC, Texas didn't just show it belongs, it proved it deserves to contend for championships.

The No. 3 Longhorns secured a spot in the SEC title game Saturday with a 17-7 victory over No. 20 Texas A&M, closing out an 11-1 regular season with another signature road victory that helps guarantee the program will earn a spot in the College Football Playoff field.
