The Texas Longhorns face off against the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game on Dec. 7. While Texas got crushed by Georgia 30-15 earlier this season in Austin, that was the team's only loss of the season.

Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian, who led his team to an 11-1 record during their first season in the league, are considered 3-point favorites to win on Saturday. If the Longhorns defeat Georgia, they get a first-round bye and a direct pass to the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoffs.

Cheering on the Longhorns at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, Sarkisian's wife, Loreal Sarkisian. While Loreal, the "First Lady of Texas Longhorns Football," didn't make it every game this season, she's in Atlanta for the SEC title game and needs some advice.

"It's cold in Atlanta, which coat should I wear today?" Loreal asked, debating between a leather coat and a fur coat. While it's 54 degrees and sunny in Atlanta during the day, temperatrues are expected to drop to 35 degrees by sundown.

The Sarkisians announced that they filed jointly for divorce back in July, however, the couple seems to have reconciled. The 39-year-old referred to Sarksian as "my husband" earlier this week and has been rocking her engagemtn ring for several weeks.
