The Texas Longhorns don't deserve the 5th seed in the college football playoffs. They really don't. UT should be the 3rd seed. The first version of the 12-team CFP has drawn a lot of criticism from around the country for its seemingly unbalanced design.

Coming off a 22-19 overtime loss to Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship, the CFP selection committee awarded Texas the No. 5 seed. They'll face No. 12 Clemson in the first round at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium either Dec.

The Longhorns missed out on a first-round bye, but will bring postseason football to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium instead.
