Steve Sarkisian Skeptical About 16-0 College Football Seasons
Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, has expressed skepticism about the possibility of a college football team finishing the season with a perfect 16-0 record. Despite the Longhorns’ recent success in the College Football Playoff, Sarkisian emphasized the challenges of maintaining a fully healthy roster throughout the extended season. The 12-team playoff format introduced last season has added complexity, requiring teams to play additional games to reach the championship.
Sarkisian also discussed the evolution of the college football playoff system, from a two-team format to the current 12-team structure. He acknowledged the high expectations surrounding quarterback Arch Manning and urged patience as the team prepares for the 2025 season. The Longhorns’ recent playoff run, including a double-overtime thriller against Arizona State, highlighted both their resilience and the challenges they face in the competitive landscape.
