The No. 4 Georgia Bulldogs face No. 1 Texas Longhorns in a clash for SEC supremacy. The Georgia-Texas game is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 and will be televised for a national audience on ABC.

ESPN’s “College GameDay” is in town for the Georgia-Texas game. Georgia is underdogs for the first time in a since the 2021 national championship game against Alabama.
