With the SEC exploring a nine-game conference schedule with three protected rivals, who should Texas A&M see each year?

The Longhorns are the ninth-ranked team in the projections and are being predicted to finish with a record of 9-3. Two SEC teams — Georgia and Alabama — are ranked ahead of Texas, and the Longhorns are only being given a 64 percent chance of making the College Football Playoff.

Running back Quintrevion Wisner and offensive lineman were named to the first-team offense, and edge rusher Colin Simmons, linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. and defensive back Michael Taaffe earned first-team defense nods.

FOX Sports analyst Joel Platt has revealed his SEC Championship prediction, and the Texas Longhorns have made the cut. Klatt predicts a rematch between the Longhorns and the Georgia Bulldogs, but he believes that the Longhorns will come out on top.

Arch Manning is getting a lot of preseason hype. ESPN's Joey Galloway explains why he's taking a cautious approach to the hoopla.

In this era of bloated conference sizes, none of the other leagues can compete with the depth of the Southeastern Conference.
