The Texas Longhorns have been named national title favorites by Vegas—can Steve Sarkisian’s squad finally deliver? BK breaks down why Texas is better positioned than ever, spotlighting Arch Manning’s late-season surge, game-changing transfer additions like Cam Coleman, and a manageable SEC schedule that offers home-field advantages against top contenders.
