SEC Football 2025: Miles Traveled by Each Team — Longhorns Lead, Bulldogs Stay Local

The Texas Longhorns will log more miles than any other SEC football team during the 2025 this college football season. Meanwhile, the Georgia Bulldogs barely need to pack a bag.

Just one year into their SEC tenure, Texas and Oklahoma face the toughest travel schedules in the conference based on miles covered. According to data compiled by Bookies.com using Google Earth, Texas leads all 16 SEC programs with 9,077.22 miles traveled.

The Longhorns open their season with their longest trip of the year — a 2,132.08-mile round trip to face Ohio State in Columbus on Aug. 30. That game is a rematch of last season’s national semifinal, where the Buckeyes defeated Texas 28-14 en route to the national championship.

Texas is the current college football futures favorite to win the 2025 SEC Championship Game at +280. Texas fell just short last season, losing to Georgia 22-19 in overtime.

At the other end of the travel spectrum, the Bulldogs have the lightest itinerary in the SEC — and one of the lightest among all Power Four programs. Georgia, listed at +370 to win the SEC, will travel just 1,888.49 miles this season, leaving the state only four times. That includes a short trip across the Florida border to face the Gators in Jacksonville on Nov. 1.

Data Includes Neutral-Site Classics 

Texas and Oklahoma will each travel more than three times the distance covered by Georgia — further emphasizing just how lopsided the travel demands are across the SEC in 2025.

Oklahoma ranks second in the SEC for miles traveled, logging 7,034.34 miles and crossing six time zones in the process. The Sooners’ longest journey is a trip to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to face Temple on Sept. 13.

Mileage totals also include neutral-site rivalry games, such as the Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, and the Florida-Georgia clash in Jacksonville, aka the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
