With the College Football Playoff only five days away, Urban Meyer has unveiled his prediction for the Sugar Bowl between No. 2 Washington and No. 3 Texas.
Meyer has a lot of admiration for both teams, but he ultimately believes the Longhorns will get the job done.
“I like Texas in that one,” Meyer said, via On3. “I think it’s going to be a great game. I’m telling you, Texas — every position — I went through each position and every one of them have NFL players. Certainly on offense, maybe on defense. Every position will be making money in the National Football League in the next two years.”
Meyer then raved about the defense for Texas, which features Ethan Burke, Jaylan Ford and Jerrin Thompson among other playmakers.
“Texas is the best-looking team on the hoof in college football,” Meyer continued. “I stood next to them. Coach Sarkisian invited us to practice. We watched them. The defensive front at Texas is the best-looking and I think the best in college football.”
Oddsmakers are favoring Texas for Monday’s matchup. That being said, Washington hasn’t lost a single game all season.
Kickoff for the Sugar Bowl is at 8:45 p.m. ET on ESPN.
