Well he is saying Texas has the best shot to win it given their situation. Cfbfan you're one of best coaches in the game, but look who Notre Dame has to go through just to make it to the conference title game. Look at any SEC team, even the Big East is a strong conference now.
Texas has one other team that can really match them right now talent wise. The Big Ten alone has like six teams that could actually win the conference if the cards play out right. Anyone can look at the conferences and see, USC and Texas have the easiest roads to the title game with decent scheduling. His rankings go off how he expects teams to finish.
Texas has one of the top three rosters every year with less competition. They should be picked probably 50% of the time based on those stats alone. Add in coaching ability and its probably way higher. Just predictions though boys, that's why they lace them up!!
