Kevin Durant delivers a clear verdict on Steve Sarkisian's Texas ahead of the heavyweight clash against Georgia

Week 8 of the college football season has one of the biggest games so far this year, as the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are taking on the top-ranked Texas Longhorns. Many people have given their thoughts and opinions about this game, but one superstar athlete has also added his two cents.

While making an appearance on "Up & Adams" with Kay Adams, Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant discussed how he is picking the Texas Longhorns to cover the spread against the Georgia Bulldogs.

This may not be the most unbiased choice, as Durant went to the University of Texas to play college basketball before being selected second overall in the 2007 NBA Draft.

The Longhorns have played extremely well throughout the season, led by coach Steve Sarkisian and quarterback Quinn Ewers, to give them the top-ranked program in college football entering this game.

Do the Texas Longhorns or the Georgia Bulldogs need to win this game more?

In the world of college football, it is not enough to simply win, as teams have to win by a lot to make the College Football Playoff. Although the Texas Longhorns are the top team in the AP Poll and are at home, this game actually means more for the Georgia Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs have already lost the tiebreaker to the Alabama Crimson Tide, as they have already lost to them. The Longhorns are undefeated and the vaunted Georgia defense that we have grown accustomed to over the previous handful of years seemingly has gone away, allowing 30+ points in two of their last three games.

Carson Beck specifically needs a strong game against a quality opponent, as in the last three games he has eight touchdowns to five interceptions going up against the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, and Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Georgia needs to get back to figure out how to get back to their normal dominance as things have not looked too great lately.

Going on the road against the top team in the nation is going to mean a lot and give the AP Poll voters more to think about in Sunday's poll.
