Way-too-early 2024 SEC football power rankings without Nick Saban

If Steve Sarkisian stays in Austin, instead of heading back to Alabama, the Longhorns will make a statement in their first SEC season. Following a tough loss to the Washington Huskies in the CFP semifinals, the Horns are ready to face a new set of opponents.

Hosting one of their toughest opponents of the year Georgia at DKR will bring not only a lot of attention but a lot of pressure to the game. 

Quarterback Quinn Ewers is set to return for his junior year and the experience he gained in 2023 will set him up for success in the coming season.

Ewers will need to tap into his experience and past success when Texas travels to Ann Arbor to play against National Champion Michigan for their second game of the season.
