Projected final record: 11-1, 7-1
You may not see it now, but this Texas team may have the it factor as conference shocker in 2024. The Longhorns are one of the new kids on the block, but they’re not going to take lumps and bruises in the SEC with this roster. It’s too good. And a Week 2 win at Michigan is going to send a ripple of momentum through the locker room, much like last year’s early win at Alabama provided. Once Texas gets past Michigan, Oklahoma and Georgia, this schedule softens a bit prior to the season finale against Texas A&M. That’s where a perfect season ends, one week prior to SEC Championship weekend when the Longhorns have already clinched a spot in the game.
