Texas Hosts Kentucky in Key SEC Matchup with Playoff Implications

The No. 3 Longhorns aim to secure their College Football Playoff hopes, while the Wildcats fight to keep their postseason dreams alive.

The Texas Longhorns (9-1) face the Kentucky Wildcats (4-6) in Austin at 3:30 p.m. ET, broadcast on ABC and available via streaming platforms like Fubo and Sling.
Texas is ranked No. 3 and remains in contention for a College Football Playoff spot, having won three straight games since their sole loss to Georgia on October 19.
Kentucky, coming off a dominant 48-6 victory over Murray State, needs a win to keep its slim postseason hopes alive after a challenging 1-6 SEC record this season.
The Longhorns enter the game as 18.5-point favorites, with their high-powered offense led by quarterback Quinn Ewers and a defense that has shown improvement in recent weeks.
The Wildcats rely heavily on their defense but will need a standout performance to compete against a Texas team that has been dominant at home this season.
