Coming off a thrashing of Oklahoma, the No. 1 Longhorns have an opportunity to solidify themselves as the class of the SEC when the Georgia Bulldogs visit Austin next week.Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers celebrates with offensive lineman Jake Majors after he scored on a 1-yard touchdown run during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024, in Dallas.
Yet here we are, halfway through their debut season, and the Longhorns are No. 1 in the nation and the last undefeated SEC team standing.Texas’ timing on its SEC shift appears impeccable, a notion that could be solidified Saturday when fifth-ranked Georgia makes only its second visit to Austin, its first since Darrell Royal’s second season there.Only a couple of years ago, as previously noted, this wouldn’t have seemed like a good proposition for Texas.
Now, you could argue that the Bulldogs have played four SEC games to Texas’ two. But, other than the 41-34 loss to the Crimson Tide, Georgia’s other SEC games were Kentucky, Auburn and Mississippi State. Both Michigan and Oklahoma are as good or better than any of those three.But it’s a new era at Alabama. Kalen DeBoer’s in charge now. He’s still got plenty of time to make a nice first impression. But the Tide look beatable, as does Georgia.
