Texas Longhorns can prove to be new top dogs in SEC with win over Georgia Bulldogs, checking in on hot seats of Dave Aranda at Baylor, Mike Bloomgren at Rice ahead of Week 8 clashes

One team that was properly rated was Texas, and the Longhorns host Georgia in one of the premier games of the 2024 season on Saturday.
The Lone Star State has represented itself well through seven weeks of the year. Texas, Texas A&M, and SMU are ranked in the AP Top 25 and are clearly in their respective conference championship races. So is Texas State and North Texas. Week 8 should separate more contenders from pretenders as the College Football Playoff race heats up.
