Battle of ugly orange uniforms.
The Tigers (10-3) are the only three-loss team in the field and finished the season ranked 16th by the committee despite their No. 12 seeding
Texas (11-2) is the highest-ranked at-large team in the playoff as the No. 5 seed with a No. 3 ranking.
The Tigers rank among the top 20 nationally in scoring (35.5 points per game) with a balanced offense
Klubnik has the third-most passing touchdowns in the FBS (33) and only five interceptions.
The Tigers also have one of the best turnover differentials in the FBS as Klubnik and Co. rarely give the ball up, and their defense leads the country in fumble recoveries (21)
Their defense is undoubtedly their strength. Texas allows the second-fewest points per game (12.5) in college football and held teams under 10 points (five times) more often than it allowed 20-plus (three times, including twice by Georgia).
All-America cornerback Jahdae Barron headlines a shutdown secondary that surrenders the fewest passing yards per game (143.3).
The Tigers excel at forcing turnovers, and the Longhorns struggled in that department in both games against the Bulldogs.
