Oklahoma vs. Texas:

Rematch of the Red River Rivalry which the Longhorns won 48-45.

Texas was in control up 45-24 heading into the fourth quarter and pretty much put it on cruise control before the Sooners stormed back.

Oklahoma has a lot riding on this game ranked No. 5 in the latest CFP Poll and most believe the Sooners will get the nod with a win.

The Sooners’ defense is allowing 47 points-per-game over the last four games. Side note – perhaps the problem was not Mike Stoops.

I don’t think Oklahoma will stop Tom Herman’s offense so the outcome will come down to the Longhorns getting three or four defensive stops and avoiding turnovers. I want to pick Texas, but I think it is incredibly hard to beat the same team twice.

Sooners win a shootout 51-49.
