“Unfortunately, due to stadium constraints and prioritizing the safety of Bebo, the players, all network cameras, support staff, cheerleaders, and camera operators, we will not be able to have Bebo on the field for the CFP quarterfinals.” Chick-fil-A Peach ·bowl. ”
This is Bebo's second missed game in the past three games.
The legendary mascot was also conspicuously absent from the SEC Championship Game, also played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, when the Longhorns tangled with the Georgia Bulldogs.

Texas won the first playoff game against Clemson, 38-24. Texas is a strong contender to win the national championship.
