The Texas Longhorns are in their first College Football Playoff and got there after winning their first conference title since 2009. As the No. 3 seed, Texas plays the No. 2 seed Washington Huskies in the Allstate Sugar Bowl (Jan. 1, 8:45 p.m. ET on ESPN).
Coach Steve Sarkisian had to overhaul Texas' roster. Good for him that he's in one of the nation's best recruiting hotbeds.
