The 2024 college football season is just weeks away. Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko’s inaugural campaign could be an instant success due to the talent and experience on the roster that he inherited, led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman. However, several of the 12 other FBS teams out of Texas deserve equal coverage.

Yes, the Texas Longhorns, who are heavily predicted to return to the college football playoffs for a second consecutive season, continue to dominate the mainstream sports media, which some may label as biased. Still, hey, when the backup quarterback is part of the Manning family, the spotlight tends to follow.

With the latest ESPN FPI predictions released to the public, eleven of the 13 Texas teams are predicted to finish with a winning or .500 record with at least six wins for bowl eligibility. So, for those who only pay attention to Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Baylor, there’s a lot of great football being played in the Lone Star State. Here are the predicted records for every Texas team ahead of the 2024 season.
