Texas Longhorns Host College GameDay

The Texas Longhorns will host College GameDay on Sept 12, when they welcome the Ohio State Buckeyes to Austin, Texas.

What are the key matchups?

The Longhorns have two marquee rivalry games every season: Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

And their game against Oklahoma, the Red River Rivalry, is a borderline holiday in Texas and Oklahoma.

Why does it matter for Texas Longhorns?

The Red River Rivalry has been attended by College GameDay eight times, most recently in 2023.

The Longhorns will play their next game against the Texas State Bobcats on 2026-09-05.

What comes next?

Texas and Ole Miss have not played since the Longhorns joined the SEC, but they will meet in Week 8, with the SEC race in full swing.

Arch Manning and Trinidad Chambliss will face off in this matchup, as both teams contend for an SEC title and a College Football Playoff appearance.

The Longhorns have not faced the LSU Tigers often, but being in the same conference, things will change.

LSU has the eighth-most appearances on College GameDay all-time, and Texas is 13th.

Death Valley ties for fourth in games hosted, trailing only Ohio State, Alabama, and Michigan.

The Longhorns will look to make multiple appearances on College GameDay in 2026, with their first game against Texas State just around the corner.
