Jalin Flores led off the inning by grounding out to third. After a single by Tommy Farmer and a steal of second, along with a walk drawn by Gasparino, Texas has two on with one out.

M2: Texas 1, Tennessee 0

Six up, six down for Walker through two.

That first round bye didn’t do anyone any good last year.

So where has Walker been the last month or so? This is looking real good through 2.

Ethan W. Is looking good so far.

End of 1: Texas 1, Tennessee 0

After a strikeout by Galvan, Schuessler drives Mendoza in with a single to center. Texas has the early lead, 1-0.

That’s how you start. Get a run early.

Mendoza drew a walk and then advanced to second on a deep fly ball by Belyeu. Texas has a runner in scoring position with one out in the bottom of the first.

This would have been the 12-team playoff for this past 2024 season if this seeding had been used. TLDR: Texas would have had a 1st round bye, but would likely have played Ohio State in the Quarterfinals in the Fiesta Bowl (instead of the semi-finals this year in Peach Bowl). First Round: #12 Clemson at #5 Notre Dame #11 Arizona State at #6 Ohio State #10 SMU at #7 Tennessee #9 Boise State at #8 Indiana Quarterfinals (New Year's Six Bowls - teams with byes await winners): Winner of #9 Boise State / #8 Indiana vs. #1 Oregon (e.g., at Rose Bowl) Winner of #10 SMU / #7 Tennessee vs. #2 Georgia (e.g., at Sugar Bowl) Winner of #11 Arizona State / #6 Ohio State vs. #3 Texas (e.g., at Fiesta Bowl) Winner of #12 Clemson / #5 Notre Dame vs. #4 Penn State (e.g., at Peach Bowl)

Their pitcher throws hard

Interesting choice for pitching, even if Schloss is saving pitching.

M1: Texas 0, Tennessee 0

Walker retires the Vols in an impressive first inning.

Ethan Walker with two punch outs to open his first career starts.

Love it. Finally a good playoff decision.

The Longhorns and the Vols get going at the top of the hour. Ethan Walker gets the ball for the Longhorns. He'll go against Tennessee ace Liam Doyle, the SEC Pitcher of the Year.

No guaranteed bye’s in this last year of the 12 team playoff. As it should be. Committee will rank 1-12, and that’s how it will play out. https://x.com/brett_mcmurphy/status/1925614012387270758?s=46

lol I was gonna tag you to answer, but didn’t know if you’d want me to or not.

Pickell hypes everyone up - that’s his job. OU will be decent, but it’s going to be a tough game because it’s a rivalry. I don’t buy that they’re going to be a “significantly better team,” just a better offense. Defense may not be near as good.

The kelvin banks type of true freshman of the world are the exception not the rule.

What he meant to say was: ”We are going to become the preeminent 8-4 team in all of college football”
