Texas and Vanderbilt meet for the first time since 1928, thanks to the Longhorns joining the Southeastern Conference. Texas is coming off a loss to Georgia that dropped the Longhorns out of the No. 1 spot. They can't afford another defeat as they chase a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff. Both Texas and surprising Vanderbilt are in a pack of teams trying to keep up with the SEC leaders. The Commodores are ranked for the first time since the end of the 2013 season.
