If Texas loses twice, then our SOS drops so much that our computer ranking is compromised considerably. We'd still be playing for the auto-bid to the Fiesta Bowl, but we wouldn't be playing for a national title.

I don't think UTexas losing twice hurts you as badly as you think that it does. Loss to TT will be against a top 10 opponent, and losing in the title game would probably be to Missouri, which would still be in Top 15, if not back in top 10.
