1. Texas Longhorns
Top Transfers: DL Cole Brevard, DL Travis Shaw, DL Maraad Watson
Biggest Losses: WR Jontay Cook, CB Jay'vion Cole, DL Sydir Mitchell
This year is looking like it could be the year of the Texas Longhorns. Many thought last season would be their year as they were favored to beat Georgia not once, but twice during the season. But as everyone knows, they came up short against the Bulldogs in both meetings.
Texas will have their chance for revenge when the two sides play in Athens this season, with the winner of that game likely guaranteeing their spot in the SEC Championship game. But in all honesty, it's likely these two teams meet in Atlanta for the second season in a row.
Similarly to Georgia, the biggest question for Texas is how Arch Manning will handle being a full time starter for the first time. He has shown a lot of promise when he had the chance to see the field, but it's impossible to know how any QB will do until they're the full time starter.
But the difference between Georgia and Texas is that Manning has more experience than Gunner Stockton for Georgia, so Texas has a better chance for their quarterback situation to work out in their favor.
