In Week 7 of the 2024 college football season, the Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes were the main attraction. Dan Lanning and the Ducks won in a thrilling 32-31 victory. In Week 8, the Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Longhorns will take the stage with all eyes on them. This SEC clash pits the No. 1 team against the No. 5 team, giving Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns an opportunity to establish some dominance in their first season as conference members. In the future, this result will have a significant impact on seeding and who eventually qualifies for the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket. Paul Finebaum of ESPN appeared on “Get Up” on Wednesday morning and announced his official selection for the top-five matchup. The golden hat is worn by Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. Dieb-Imagn Images’ Andrew Dieb-Imagn Images’ Andrew Finebaum declared, “I’m going with Texas,” “Despite having a more demanding schedule, Georgia easily defeated Clemson early in the season and defeated Alabama by a single score in Tuscaloosa. I simply don’t like Carson Beck’s vibes, and Kirby Smart has been let down by this Georgia defence. The Bulldogs have been naturally dissatisfied with their one-loss start to the 2024 season after a powerful three-year run in which they won two national titles and narrowly missed out on the playoffs the previous year. Things started off well with a resounding victory over Clemson in Week 1, but the fan base is still feeling the effects of a shocking defeat to Alabama a few weeks later. In the meantime, despite some turmoil at quarterback, the Longhorns have been flawless this season. Early in the season, senior Quinn Ewers sustained an injury that allowed youthful sensation Arch Manning to take over and shine. This past week, Ewers made his comeback to the field, leading the Longhorns to a resounding 34-3 victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Texas is currently favoured by 3.5 points versus Georgia at home. At 7:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, the game will take place.
