It is going to be SO much fun watching these numbers slide as Texas has to play the big 6 every season instead of in Bowl games. Some quick research indicates that when Texas played these games they had a winning % of .798 the year the game was played, on average. The SEC opponent had a winning % of .613%. Of the group LSU is the only team that played Texas with any regularity during the regular season and not in a bowl game, the rest of the time it was a matchup in a bowl game where Texas had a better record or a regular season matchup where Texas had a much better record than their SEC opponent. That ain't happening going forward...3 of the 4 programs are far better established than Texas at the moment and have been for far longer...one of them is coming out of slump that is unprecedented in their history and the other 2 are a pick 'em and no telling how good they may be from one year to the next.

Give it about 5-10 years and those records gonna look a lot worse for Texas I’m sure

Context matters…GA has only played Texas twice since the 50’s. A opt out riddled Sugar Bowl in 2018. And the 1983 Season cotton bowl where #5 UGA beat #2 Texas.
