Recruiting for Alabama-Tennessee and others

play

Only twice before has Texas prevailed in a top-five matchup in Austin, but Saturday's SEC showdown between the No. 1 Longhorns and No. 4 Georgia will keep the nation's attention on the prime-time matchup.

The Longhorns opened the week as 3½-point favorites and finished it as 4½-point favorites. Quarterback Quinn Ewers looked rusty in last week's 34-3 win over Oklahoma but will make his second straight start after missing two games with an abdominal strain. Texas is one of three undefeated teams in SEC play heading into the weekend, along with Texas A&M and LSU.

We all like Texas' chances of winning, but what are our predictions for some of the other top games in the country, including the Alabama-Tennessee game in the SEC?
