Why does the SEC pecking order always get framed like Georgia is untouchable and everyone else is just waiting for scraps? Texas finished second in the conference in yards per play last season and the defense ranked 6th nationally in EPA per rush. The Longhorns have a 5-star QB in the room and the 2026 recruiting class is stacked with difference makers. Nobody is talking about how the gap between Georgia and Texas is smaller than the gap between Texas and the rest of the SEC right now.
