Saturday morning kicked off with ESPN's College GameDay, and then the Texas Longhorns had over seven hours until they kicked off against the Georgia Bulldogs.
However, as the morning show wrapped up with its usual game-day picks, the entire ESPN cast and even celebrity guest picker Aaron Donald had the same outcome for the top-10 matchup between the two SEC powerhouses.

Just like that, it was a perfect graphic, with the Georgia logo popping up for all five picks. But do you know what a perfect graphic is perfect for? Graphic busting.
Every week, the College GameDay crew tries to avoid the perfect graphic like the plague, convinced that whenever they all pick the same team to win, it sets up the game's outcome for the exact opposite to happen.
Yes, the oddsmakers all had the No. 5 Bulldogs defeating the No. 10 Longhorns, especially since Georgia was so consistently dominant at home and Texas had been so inconsistent on the road.
However, with the Georgia-focused graphic in the back of their minds, the Horns would undeniably be more motivated than ever to defeat the Dawgs. Not to mention the motivation behind the fact that Texas had yet to defeat the Bulldogs since joining the SEC.

Since taking over the program in 2021, Longhorn head coach Steve Sarkisian has already lost to Georgia twice, both defeats coming in the 2024 season. As Texas took a trip to Athens, Sarkisian and the rest of his staff were looking to rewrite their record against the dominant Bulldog program.
On Saturday, Nov. 15, the No. 10 Texas Longhorns and the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs were scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT, and the game would be aired on ABC.
