vs.

#21 Texas @ #8 Oklahoma – 3:30 PM ET on ABC

The biggest game of the young season – if the Sooners win here, they can honestly say that they’re a national title contender. Longhorns win and they can save face after last week’s debacle against UCLA. Something to consider is that both quarterbacks – OU’s Landry Jones and UT’s Garrett Gilbert – are making their first start in the Red River Rivalry. Go with the more experienced Jones here.
