Where Texas lands in college football’s top games for 2023

We rank the biggest college football games for 2023.

We are nearly as far away from football season as possible, but early projections are trickling in for the 2023 season. On Tuesday, FanDuel dropped early betting lines for some of college football’s biggest games.

As you can imagine, Texas was included among some of the more high profile games. Blue blood battles are worthy of plenty of hype, and the Longhorns face two away from Austin. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and company face Alabama in Tuscaloosa before the annual Red River battle with Oklahoma.

Earlier FanDuel favored Alabama by 8 points against Texas. The site gave the Longhorns a 4-point advantage over the Sooners. Later the Oklahoma line climbed in Texas’ favor to 5 points.

Let’s look at our early expectation for each of the featured games and rank them.

Texas vs ‘Bama: Roll Tide Wire talks Jalen Milroe, expectations for Week 2

Alabama writer shares thoughts on Jalen Milroe, Alabama in 2023 and Week 2 matchup with Texas.

The Alabama Crimson Tide plays host to the Texas Longhorns in 2023. It has potential to be the game of the year.

Last season, each team traded punches until the final whistle with the Crimson Tide leaving victorious. Alabama’s 20-19 win was one of the more confounding performances of the year for both teams. It led many to conclude either the Tide was falling off a cliff or Quinn Ewers was leading Texas to prominence.

In reality, neither of those things happened. The game stood alone as a singular performance that had little bearing on the remainder of the season.

To get a fuller picture on this year’s pivotal matchup, I talked with Stacey Blackwood of Roll Tide Wire to get more insight into the matchup.

College Football Morning Announcements features a visit from Patrick Conn as we talk coronavirus at Texas and a 2020 Longhorns outlook.

Happy Friday and Juneteenth to those of you celebrating.  If you can today, take a minute and research something about the holiday and why it matters so much to so many, because if you’re at all like myself your public school education glossed over a large chunk of that part of American history.

In an all-time awkward transition, we sat down with Patrick Conn of Longhorns Wire to talk about the recent news in regards to coronavirus and the Texas Longhorns as well as take a look at Tom Herman and Texas as they enter 2020.
