I took a look at our 2024 team compared to the great teams of the current generation. This comparison will obviously be more significant if we take down Georgia this weekend. I'd probably still hold the 2008 team at the #2 spot through the first six games.
@Ketchum Here's what ChatGPT thinks of our 2024 vs. 2005, 2008, 2009 Texas Longhorns:
Ranking these Texas Longhorns teams based on their performance through the first 6 games of each season, considering both offensive and defensive metrics:
- 2005 Team: This team had an explosive offense, scoring 299 points (49.8 points per game) and a solid defense, allowing 98 points (16.4 points per game). They went on to win the National Championship, making them one of the best Longhorns teams ever.
- 2024 Team: The current team has a strong offense with 270 points (45 points per game) and an exceptional defense, allowing only 35 points (5.8 points per game). Their defensive performance is particularly impressive, making them a formidable contender this season.
- 2008 Team: This team scored 266 points (44.3 points per game) and allowed 113 points (18.8 points per game). They had a strong season, finishing with a 12-1 record and winning the Fiesta Bowl.
- 2009 Team: Scoring 253 points (42.2 points per game) and allowing 102 points (16.7 points per game), this team also had a great season, finishing as the runner-up in the BCS National Championship Game.
