The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is known as one of the best conferences in college football, and it is about to get even more exciting with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma for the 2024-25 season. Texas had a strong performance last season with a 12-1 record before falling to Washington in the College Football Playoff semifinals. They also impressed with a road win over Alabama. Head coach Steve Sarkisian, with his SEC experience from coaching under Nick Saban at Alabama, will lead the team with Heisman hopeful Quinn Ewers at quarterback. Texas is currently a top contender for the national title with the third-shortest odds at +750.
On the other hand, Oklahoma’s confidence is not as high as they make their entrance into the SEC. Head coach Brent Venables, in his third season, led the Sooners to a 10-3 record and a No. 15 finish in the AP Poll last season. However, the team faced a setback with star QB Dillon Gabriel transferring to Oregon. Jackson Arnold, a former five-star recruit, is expected to take over as the starting quarterback for the upcoming season.
Looking at the SEC title odds, Georgia leads the pack at +200, followed by Texas at +320. Ole Miss, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, and Missouri are also among the top contenders. Oklahoma, on the other hand, is considered a long shot with odds of +4000. Auburn, Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt round out the odds for the upcoming season.
