Texas early2027 opens with a bang, as South Carolina visits Texas on the first Sunday of the SEC season (one of three must-see games that day). South Carolina should be the favorite to win the SEC, and Texas is expected to be one of the top challengers. There are no SEC games scheduled on February 18, an off-date added this season in case games have to be rescheduled. Last season, Vanderbilt finished second in the SEC, but got embarrassed by South Carolina in Columbia. On Valentine’s Day, which is also Super Bowl Sunday, South Carolina plays at Ole Miss.
