Bowl season is here, and eight Texas teams are bowl eligible. We listed out where all the 8 bowl-eligible teams will be playing.

The Texas Longhorns will have somewhat of a marquee matchup on their hands, as they take on Michigan at 2 p.m. CT Dec. 31 in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. Texas finished just outside the College Football Playoff with a 9-3 record and No. 14 ranking, while Michigan also ended up 9-3, but at No. 18.

Texas football likely won’t qualify for the College Football Playoffs but the Longhorns ended the season on a high-note after beating Texas A&M 27-17. All is not lost on the Longhorns because they still have a bowl game to play and perhaps the biggest game outside of anything in the CFP is the Citrus Bowl.

Texas A&M tight end Nate Boerkircher, a former Nebraska walk‑on, has earned a Senior Bowl invite, showcasing his versatility with the Aggies.

The Aggies should be a tough test in Miami’s first-round playoff game on Dec. 20. But Texas A&M, which ended the regular season 11-1, does have some weaknesses.

The Texas vs. Texas A&M football rivalry will again be renewed on the day after Thanksgiving. The Southeastern Conference announced its 2026 schedule Thursday night and the latest edition of the Lone Star State’s marquee gridiron rivalry will take place Friday,
