Some observations...
It's fucking wild that the Georgia game will only be the 3rd AP top 5 matchup in Austin. I don't think anyone really thought we were #2 in 2006 I think the pollsters were just being nice to us as defending champs so you could argue this is the biggest game in Austin since 1970 when we stomped on the Hogs the year after Nixon's game of the century.
We really have been in shitty conferences.... (till now)
4 in the Big 12 in 28 years (all Oklahoma)
4 in the SWC in 60 years (3x Ark, 1x A&M)
1 in the SEC in 1 year
Non-Conference has been the bulk
7 vs Big 7/8 (6x Oklahoma, 1x Mizzou, never in a bowl)
6 vs Independents (2x Notre Dame (f ND), 1x Miami, Penn St, Navy, & Syracuse)
5 vs SEC (2x Alabama, 1x Auburn, Ole Miss, & Tennessee)
3 vs PDF (2x USC, 1x Washington)
2 vs Big Ten (all Ohio State)
Remember this Saturday is really fucking rare especially in Austin. Hopefully we will see this sort of thing happen more reguarly given we are in a conference with teams that represent 65% (21/32) of our all time top 5 matchups.
