Will Texas play in the SEC title game in its first season in the conference?
The Longhorns were voted to finish second in the SEC behind Georgia in the conference’s annual preseason media poll released Friday. The Bulldogs received the vast majority of first-place votes; 165 voters picked Georgia to win. Texas was second with 27 first-place votes ahead of Alabama with 12 and Ole Miss with four.
Vanderbilt got two first-place votes in a tradition that seems to continue every year. There’s always a couple media members who like to vote for the Commodores even though they enter the season as the favored team to finish last.
