Oklahoma vs. TCU

TS  Another rematch game.  The Sooners beat TCU 38-20 back in October.

You can argue that the Big-12 defenses are not that good, but the Sooners offense is lethal behind Baker Mayfield. He’s a baller and wills his team to wins.

The Horned Frogs find themselves in a familiar position.  A win positions them for a playoff berth, but will it be enough to jump seven spots? Doubtful.

I don’t expect this to be a close game.  Oklahoma is better and Mayfield will cement his Heisman by throwing for 300-plus yards.  Sooners 41-24.

CL  I have just as much respect for TCU’s head coach Gary Patterson as I do David Shaw and Kirby Smart. He is a terrific defensive coach as well. But he has a challenge the other coaches don’t, he is going up against Baker Mayfield.

You can game plan all you want to against a player like the Sooner quarterback and it still may not matter. Just ask Urban Meyer.

Ohio State had Mayfield running for his life and he still mad plays. I think he will make enough of them against TCU.

Oklahoma wins 34-20.
