But will it?
Yes it will.

Texas 2026 schedule includes current CFP Top 10 and playoff teams: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss. The 2027 schedule includes CFP Top 10 and playoff teams: Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Georgia, and Alabama, plus CFP Top 14 team Vanderbilt.  Then it alternates back to the 2026 schedule but reversing home/away, and then back to the 2027 schedule while revesing home/away.

Just because a team was top 10 one year doesn't mean that they will be the next. 

Look how much Florida State fluctuates on a year to year basis.

It's unrealistic to think that Texas will be playing a bottom half SEC schedule in any future year.  The potential volatility of one team, like Florida State, is much higher than the expected volatility for 3-5 teams.

It can go the other way too. You might schedule Syracuse or BC as a W ooc, and then they could become the next Indiana or Vanderbilt.

I just showed you the schedules.  If you think in either 2026 or 2027, Texas will end up playing a schedule that includes every bottom-half SEC team but one, well then I guess you can keep doing you.

Definitely true. Scheduling down doesn't eliminate the risk, it just reduces it.

Dark days indeed.  I'd like to think we're past those Charlie Strong/Tom Herman years, but it's possible that we could go right back there.

I don't think 26 or 27

perhaps in 30 or 31, you know after you get the Buckeyes and other prime opponents off the schedule

I'll just say... it's highly unlikely.  It's possible but so unrealistic it's not worthy of examination.  If you'd like to keep discussing it though, feel free, Mr. Never Schedule A Loss.

To be fair to @utee94 , that was SEPTEMBER Maryland.  They are a really good team.  You are looking down at these losses because you are thinking of NOVEMBER Maryland, they suck.
