Texas will play the Arkansas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt at house. The highway schedule with see Texas play Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State. The impartial website sport in Dallas in opposition to Oklahoma will rely as a house sport.
It’s not a straightforward schedule by any stretch. Texas will play Ohio State in nonconference earlier than going through Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas A&M in SEC play.
In Ohio State and Georgia, Texas faces the 2 most extremely touted groups for 2024. One would assume they’d be across the Prime 10 groups the next season. However for the primary two seasons in its new convention, the SEC slate sees the Longhorns keep away from matchups in opposition to Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Making a School Soccer Playoff with Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas A&M on the schedule is an admittedly troublesome process. Texas doesn’t should beat Ohio State or Georgia, however it will have to beat everybody else. The remainder of the SEC slate offers them an opportunity.
