On November 15, 2025, the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs will host the No. 10 Texas Longhorns in a highly anticipated SEC showdown. The Bulldogs (8-1, 6-1 SEC) are coming off a 41-21 victory over Mississippi State, while the Longhorns (7-2, 4-1) are fresh off their second bye week of the season.
This matchup is a rematch of the 2024 SEC championship game, which Georgia won 22-19 on a Trevor Etienne overtime rushing touchdown. The Bulldogs also defeated Texas 30-15 in Austin last October, showcasing their defensive prowess.
The 2025 edition of this rivalry is another high-stakes contest between the two SEC powerhouses. Texas cannot afford another loss, as it would be a devastating blow to their College Football Playoff hopes. Georgia, on the other hand, needs to win to remain in the hunt for the SEC championship.
"We got a big matchup, a lot of respect for Sark (Texas coach Steve Sarkisian)," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said ahead of the game. "He's become a good friend of mine. He does a tremendous job. He's at one of the premier programs in the country. He's been successful everywhere he's been. He's done a great job and I enjoy his friendship and look forward to another great matchup on Saturday night."
