Why is this his projection if Texas would be a 26.5 point favorite?

I think it’s a metric based off the week zero numbers, not his opinion on the spread. So probably factors in our suckiness from last year.

The spreads are not McMurphy's predictions of what would happen in the bowl game. They are based on the computer's current (Aug. 19) projections, i.e. a top-5 Texas team playing a not-close-to-being-ranked Nebraska. Obviously, he's projecting Texas has a dissappointing season and misses the playoffs. If that came to fruition and Nebraska played that Texas team, the spread would not be 26.5 points. Why they chose to put those irrelevant spreads next to these bowl game predictions is beyond me.
