Three ways Texas can still make the 2025 College Football playoffs:
1. Form an alliance with Diego Pavia and play a game vs Vandy on Thursday. Win with such an impressive margin that the committee convenes an emergency meeting and bumps Miami out of their slot.
2. Book the James Madison team and coaches on Southern Airways Flight 932 from Stallings Field in Kinston, North Carolina, to Huntington Tri-State Airport/Milton J. Ferguson Field near Kenova and Ceredo. Tragically, the flight, once again, ends in a horrific crash and Texas is nominated to replace them in their game. Observe a moment of silence before kickoff. Submit a movie script to Netflix with all proceeds going to a survivor fund.
3. Simply declare that we are participating in the playoff and play a game vs Notre Dame. If we win, we 'advance' ourselves to another game vs another overlooked team, and finally play in an unsanctioned national championship game. If we win, we add another championship. Many teams throughout college football history have declared themselves national champions, so this wouldn't be too unusual of a development.
4. Pressure the Texas legislature to pass an emergency bill that requires Texas to participate in the playoffs or Tech and A&M are barred from participating.
