Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs Face Off in 2024

The highly anticipated college football matchup between the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs is set for a primetime kick-off at 6:30 p.m. CT in Austin, marking the first meeting of these teams as SEC opponents. Texas, riding a six-game win streak, is favored to win, having only allowed an impressive 6.3 points per game this season, while Georgia seeks to reclaim its dominance after a recent loss to Alabama. ESPN's College GameDay will be on-site, featuring guest picker Scottie Scheffler, a former Longhorns golfer and current world No. 1 golfer. Analysts, including Kirk Herbstreit, have indicated that the home-field advantage could be crucial for Tennessee in their Week 8 clash with Alabama, where they are also seen as underdogs. The stakes are high for both Texas and Georgia as they vie for position in the SEC and potential playoff spots. This matchup is not only pivotal for conference standings but also serves as a significant event in the college football landscape.
