Cap, I love ya, but having had the misfortune of being a follower of the old SWC and then the Big 12 as a Baylor fan ( LSU is and will always be my first love, but mt Dad went to BU….) I’ve gotten the chance to observe the T Sippers for 50 years and absolutely nothing has changed to lead me to see the Shorthorns of ever being capable of the sort of dominance the BAMA displayed under Saban.
Sure, Texas is the wealthiest athletic department in college sports by a lot, but despite their massive wealth, it’s the consistent arrogance that the administration and alumni have always displayed without the hardware and championships to nearly justify the way that they operate.
Honestly, Sark got really lucky in 2023 because they beat a lack luster Alabama before their team had a chance to jell and the avoided UGA entirely. Once they trade playing Baylor, Iowa State, TCU and Kansas for a healthy diet including Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, A&M, State & Oklahoma, I just don’t see them as coming out nearly as well. They have never even been willing, as a program, to play a, week in and week out, schedule nearly as brutal as they are about to face. (These are the same snowflakes that force the Big 12 to make the horns down sign an unsportsmanlike penalty!)
Maybe I’m wrong, but I think Spurier was right when he said that Texas does seem to appreciate the shear brutality of the SEC schedule. Yeah, they’ve always played OU and a coupe of other respectable teams each year, but when your schedule requires you to play teams, in almost every conference game, that leave you more banged up in each successive game, it’s not the same.
Personally, I’m really looking for to their first Saturday Night in Death Valley!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

If we’re being honest here, Florida, A&M, and State are non factors and bottom tier football programs at the moment. They collectively may win 10 games. Georgia is the obvious toughest. Sooners still have a big question mark.
Sec will be a dog fight for #1 though. Uga is solidified 1 at the moment. Texas and LSU will be coming for the throne. Ole miss will be sneaky but never be elite imo.
