We’re forecasting out the 2024 football schedule for the Texas Longhorns as are several others. Most view the Longhorns as legitimate College Football Playoff contenders. Others have starkly varied opinions on the team.
The vast majority view the Longhorns as a Top 10 team heading into next season. A minority of media members view Texas as a team due for a fall off, comparing the team to its 2019 iteration that went 7-5 after a Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia.

Colorado State went 5-7 in 2023 struggling mightily against Mountain West competition with a 3-5 record in conference play. The Rams faced a common opponent in Wyoming and lost 24-15.
