We’ve reached the final game of the regular season, and the Texas Longhorns’ hopes of a College Football Playoff appearance rest on a win against Texas A&M (and likely some help from LSU and Auburn). Do the Longhorns have to win on Friday to deem this season a success? Does it rest on reaching the CFP? Or is it already a failure?
Daniel Seahorn (@DanielSeahorn) – I think it’s a slight failure with a 9-3 finish and no playoffs. Winning on Friday would get the bad taste out of a lot of mouths, but missing the playoffs, given the pre-season expectations, would still be a bitter pill.

There is nothing like Thanksgiving week.
Getting a bit more specific, there is nothing like Thanksgiving week when your football team is coming off of a huge win. Such is life for many fanbases around the NFL right now.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The weeks kicks off at 1 p.m. ET with three games on Turkey Day, followed by the Black Friday game to load us up with football before the weekend even begins. It’s a full slate, with a lot of really fascinating games.
This week is critical for a lot of bubble teams trying to find a way into the playoffs. We really have two must-wins on Thursday with the Packers and Lions, as well as the Chiefs and Cowboys needing to win to keep their playoff chances alive.

Things today could get a little sporty around the Thanksgiving table.
We are here to help.
Let’s face it: You don’t want to see Thanksgiving derailed by awkward, tense conversations that do not get anywhere. So the moment Uncle Ricky starts veering down a journey into his medical history, or Aunt Lisa starts talking about tariffs, drop these rankings into the conversation and yell about the Packers instead.
We’ve broken up all 32 teams into a few different tiers, and for the teams truly in the playoff hunt, we’ve ranked them as well.
Happy Holidays.
