The college football season is getting cranked up as we continue to inch closer to the regular season wrap-up. The championship chase is stirring a new completion each week of CFP ranking. Coming to Texas Longhorns, they only received a blow from Georgia with an offensive disaster, culminating in a 15-point loss. The college football committee sees their potential and how they take care of the business in every game (most recently against Florida Gators) and rightfully offers them a No. 3 spot in the coveted list. To add more value to it, ESPN strongly advocated a SEC championship run for Steve Sarkisian’s team. But Lee Corso spotted a hole to worry.

According to ESPN’s updated Football Power Index analytics projection, Texas sits at the top to win the SEC with a 38% possibility after a happening week 12. Alabama (31%), Tennessee (12%), and Georgia (8%) followed in the order. Georgia will face the Longhorns in a potential tiebreaker since the Bulldogs beat them on Oct. 19, you might believe that it will be a cakewalk for the Longhorns to knock the lackluster Dawgs, but veteran analyst Lee Corso has a different take.

”Remember, Georgia is a tough team when they rebound. It feels like when they get mad at Texas; they feel doubted; and they come out swinging,” the former Indiana coach warned, saying Longhorns can’t beat the Dawgs with ease.

However, despite some naysayers casting doubt on the Longhorns’ esteemed ranking on the table, Coach Sarkisian couldn’t care less. ”Honestly, I don’t pay attention to that stuff. All I know is, we play the teams that are in front of us, and they’re good. So I don’t know if people don’t think they’re good or not. That’s not for me to decide. We just try to play the best football that we can,” said the California native ahead of a deciding Arkansas game.

Sarkisian has a lot of faith in his young squad and has been shaping up the future of a steadfast team so far. Taking special notice of freshman safety, Xavier Filsaime and Jordan Johnson-Rubell, the visionary Longhorns coach, believe they have garnered huge growth and have a lot on their plate to offer in the coming years. However, that doesn’t mean Smart will be any less aggressive in taking the second chance of toppling the team that has been unjustly favored by the Referees in their previous clash.

Kirby Smart called out the referee for unfair treatment during the game against the Longhorns

Kirby Smart and the Dawgs had a 30-15 upper hand over the Longhorns earlier in the season. But Smart was far from happy with that. The dissatisfaction reached beyond the scoreboard. The coach had a problem with how the referees made the partial calls in an attempt to corner them.

The game took a controversial turn when the Longhorns took an interception in the third quarter. Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron came up with an interception of Carson Beck and gave it back to the Georgia nine-yard line. A defensive pass interference penalty was flagged, but after a huge backlash, the interception stood. Although it made a little difference in the end, as the Georgia defense continued to be resilient, Smart didn’t forget the scorn.

In an ESPN post-game interview, Smart called out the crew and claimed they were trying to ‘rob’ the Dawgs. Without meaning his words even a bit, Smart said the entire broadcasting network was doubtful of Georgia’s potential. Nobody spared them even an inch, and it’s all on his boys to cross all the odds and clinch the victory, regardless.

What’s your take on Lee Corso’s Georgia inclination over the ESPN-favored Longhorns in a projected SEC call?
