It is widely beloved among the pundits that had that happened, Texas would have been the 1 seed.
for what it’s worth, if they do leave it out FSU and put in Bama, Texas will be favored against Washington. This scares me a bit because people have underestimated the Huskies all season. But IF that’s the case and IF Texas were to win that game, it would set up either a rematch against Bama OR a Texas/Michigan matchup. Either way, two top 5 all time programs playing in Houston for all the marbles. Talk about printing money. It’s also a network’s opposite of dry dream.
