Has there been a bigger Faux program than Texas Football last 2 years?

In the past 15 years, I don't think Texas would crack a top 10 program list, or would be close to 10. Imo, Texas was never a threat to ACTUALLY win a Nati when they were in the Semi's last 2 years. Very similar to 2019 Oklahoma, nobody actually thought they'd win the Nati when they were in the Semi's. My reasoning? Look who they played up to that point. Big 12 first time. Then 2nd time, Texas finished with 0 ranked wins in regular season. 0. Nada. They only played 1 single team that finished top 25, Georgia, and they lost 2x. Their SEC schedule was entirely the bottom half. 7 of their 8 games finished bottom 8 in the SEC. An intelligent college football fan saw right through their 2023 schedule, then their 2024 schedule.

When they actually played UGA at home, they shite their pants. That's when I really knew. I had data points from the easy vs difficult.

Texas has been a faux program for the past 2 years, and it diminishes the value of the league to gift them this super easy first 2 year SEC schedule.. Sadly it won't be exposed next yr either (aside from OSU, UGA, and Florida) because they again have the entirety of the bottom half of the SEC on their schedule. 7 of 8 of their 2025 Fall SEC opponents finished in the bottom 8, or bottom half, of the 2024 SEC standings. So they play 88% of the bottom half of the SEC, and play 12% of the top half of the SEC.

It won't be until 2026 Fall that they finally play a real schedule. A true SEC gauntlet schedule. Texas has never to date, played an actual gauntlet. Never. Never in 90s, 00s, 10s, or 20s. 2026 will be their first year to, and it will be a blast.

I'm tired of the Faux Top 5 unearned rankings and getting exposed end of season. I want to see Texas play an actual SEC schedule. Don't get me wrong on the OOC this year. Playing at Ohio St is an absolute test. Huge test. But there is a reason I bet on all of their last 4 games of the year and won on all, pushed on 1.
