Around The SEC: Kirk Herbstreit Weighs In On If Texas Or Oklahoma Is Better

The days of both the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners being in the SEC are very much on the horizon, and it's something that could cause shake-up in a conference that has already seen some of that.

College football analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who will be calling some of those games for the Longhorns and the Sooners, recently weighed in on which team of the pair he thought was better.

Based on what he said, it seems he's got the idea that Texas is the more well-prepared team.

“Now, Brent Venables is a couple years behind where Sark is, but it just feels like when you look at Texas, they’re closer to being where you need to be than I think where Venables is currently,” he said. “But I think he’ll be there as well because he understands it probably as well as anybody.

“He’ll get that program eventually there, but right now Texas, I think, is … I think they’re ready to compete. So we’ll see how it goes."

Alabama and Texas are set to kick off at 6 p.m. CT on Saturday, giving a bit of a preview of what things will look like for years to come.
