Arguably the best conference in college football, the Southeastern Conference, will add two big names next season, as Texas and Oklahoma will bring the Red River Showdown to the SEC.
Texas went 12-1 a season ago before losing 37-31 to Washington in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
The Longhorns also showed their mettle with a Week 2 road win over Alabama last season.
In addition, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has SEC experience, having coached under Nick Saban at Alabama for two seasons. Texas will also have Heisman hopeful Quinn Ewers back at quarterback.
Texas currently has the third-shortest odds to win the national title at +750.

In terms of Oklahoma, sportsbooks do not have nearly as much confidence in the Sooners as they enter the SEC.
Head coach Brent Venables is entering his third season at the helm. After struggling to a 6-7 season in Year 1, Venables led the Sooners to a 10-3 mark and No. 15 finish in the final AP Poll of 2023.
However, star QB Dillon Gabriel transferred to Oregon. Jackson Arnold — a former five-star recruit who was the No. 4 QB recruit in his 2023 class — is expected to start under center next season.
