#Red River Rivalry

The headline is slang for a low-scoring game. That's what I'm expecting in the Alamo Bowl when the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (8-4) meet the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2) Thursday at the Alamodome. Texas started the season 2-2 before rallying for a 6-2 finish to make a bowl game in coach Steve Sarkisian's second season in Austin. The Longhorns are…

Week 8 is exciting, with games that could impact the conference standings. We've got three top-25 conference matchups, with all of these having a legitimate shot at a conference championship and bigger hopes of a National Title. We're calling one major upset, and we have a massive parlay to give you this week. (Odds courtesy of FanDuel…

Following an important win at home over head coach Neal Brown and the West Virginia Mountaineers on the night of Oct. 1, head coach Steve Sarkisian and Texas football have more momentum heading into the Red River Rivalry game next weekend. Texas topped West Virginia on Oct. 1 to get the first win of Big 12 play this fall. This was a solid win for…

Despite covering just once in their last seven games, the Sooners find themselves favored by 7.5 points in this year's edition of the Bedlam Series rivalry. Take the points with the Cowboys in what should be another exciting affair. The No. 22 Oklahoma State Cowboys and Oklahoma Sooners will square off Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Norman. This…

At about 7 p.m. CT on Saturday night, it had been a big day of college football but not a season-changing one. Sure, Georgia had given Tennessee its first loss, but the Bulldogs were favored and someone had to win that game. About three hours later, the chaos had struck in Baton Rouge and South Bend, where LSU and Notre Dame notched huge home…

The First (Annual?) Gary Patterson Bowl goes down in Austin. Two questions will define No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas, one far more important than the other. First, who will be more satisfied in victory: TCU, moving to 10-0 with a team comprised of largely the same pieces of the 2021 Patterson-led team that went 5-7 with a win over Gary Patterson, or…

Baylor is still alive in the battle for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game, but the Bears will need a road win against Oklahoma this weekend to remain in the race. After a disastrous three-game stretch earlier in the season, the Sooners have gotten back on track with two straight conference wins. As we begin the final month of the regular…

It is never too early to start talking about college football. After Georgia absolutely steamrolled the 2022 College Football Playoff and went onto their first National Championship since 1980, they will be looking to defend their title in a tight SEC. With many coaching changes, new portal rules, and recruits committing across the nation, 2022…

No. 6 Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) and No. 11 Texas (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) faceoff off in the annual Red River Showdown at the Cotton Bowl in Week 7 (Sat. Oct 12th, 12:00 PM ET). The undefeated Sooners have opened as 10.5-point favorites in the game. Jalen Hurts is leading a dominant Oklahoma offense that is averaging a nation-leading 644 yards and 53…

In a week featuring five showdowns between AP Top 25 teams, of course it was No. 1 Georgia at unranked Missouri that had the college football world on the edge of its collective seat for three hours Saturday night. UGA's defense was mostly fine. The Dawgs held the Tigers under 300 total yards and made Harrison "Thiccer Kicker" Mevis make a lot of…

Week 6 of the college football season includes a Big Ten matchup between teams ranked into the top five. #4 Penn State visits #3 Iowa at 8 p.m. ET Saturday night at Nile Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. Iowa has opened as a two-point favorite. The Nittany Lions and Hawkeyes provide one of four games between ranked teams. #2 Georgia plays at #18…

The Iowa State Cyclones and No. 22 Texas Longhorns look like teams heading in opposite directions. Once again ranked in both major polls, the Longhorns are riding high after thrashing the Oklahoma Sooners 49-0 in the Red River Rivalry game last week. While Texas ran its record in Big 12 play to 2-1, ISU dropped its third consecutive conference…

There was plenty of movement in the latest AP Top 25 poll even though Week 6 didn't see any top 10 teams lose. UCLA improved to 5-0 with a huge Pac-12 conference win over Utah. The Bruins jumped seven spots from No. 18 to No. 11 in the new AP poll. That was tied for the highest climb in this week's poll with Mississippi State. The Bulldogs defeated…

A big win for Texas football and head coach Steve Sarkisian on Oct. 8 saw this team absolutely dismantle the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry game. Texas shutout the Sooners at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Oct. 8, winning by the final score of 49-0. Texas managed the largest margin of victory for the program in the history of the Red River…

We're nearly halfway through the college football season, and there are storylines galore to discuss. While the expected powerhouses continued to take care of business, upstarts staked claims to headlines as we navigated Week 6. Kansas lost star quarterback Jalon Daniels but still took fellow unbeaten TCU to the brink before the Horned Frogs…

There's bad, there's really bad, and then there's Oklahoma. The Sooners aren't just one of the biggest flops of the season in the Bowl Subdivision - they're a disaster on both sides of the ball heading toward the program's worst finish this century. Saturday was rock bottom. Texas demolished Oklahoma 49-0 to hand the Sooners a third loss in a row…

You can never have a good Texas vs. Oklahoma game without lots of intrigue and storylines. Saturday morning's Red River Showdown matchup at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is no exception.

The Red River Rivalry is set to take center stage for the 118th time in the history of the matchup. While neither Oklahoma nor Texas come into this game ranked in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, this game still has the attention of many across the nation. Sure ESPN's College Gameday will be in Lawrence, Kansas, for the Jayhawks tilt with TCU and…

We are getting very close to the kickoff between Texas football and the Oklahoma Sooners in the Red River Rivalry game. On Oct. 8, Texas will try to end the Oklahoma winning streak at four games with a win of their own. Texas originally opened up as a little more than a field-goal favorite in the betting odds. But the Longhorns ballooned to a…

The Texas Longhorns (3-2) travel to take on the Oklahoma Sooners (3-2) in this year's Red River Rivalry. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 pm ET. Below we continue our College Football odds series with a Texas-Oklahoma prediction and pick. Texas comes into this rivalry game after a decisive 38-20 victory over West Virginia. With the win, the Longhorns…

On Saturday, the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners will meet for the 118th time overall. For the first time in a decade, it is the Burnt Orange that is considered the favorite according to betting odds. The Red River Rivalry or Red River Shootout, whichever you prefer to call it, is one of the best rivalry games in all of college football. It…

Welcome to this week's SBNation reacts, where your answers are tallied to poll the hot topics around college football this week. Tennessee is coming off of a bye last weekend, but there was still plenty to talk about around the country. We start with Texas A&M, which dropped another game to Mississippi State. The Aggies, which were expected to push…

The Red River Rivalry has lost some luster with the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners failing to deliver on their fan bases' high hopes. Both have slid out of the Top 25 ahead of this year's high noon clash Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. Texas checks in at 3-2, showing promise before bowing to top-ranked Alabama, 20-19, but surprisingly was dumped…

It's time to settle some SEC offseason coaching feuds in week six of the college football season. This week also brings a battle of churches in all places, Las Vegas; a Wednesday night game; Jim Carrey sequels; and a first for ESPN's College Gameday. For new readers, this is how the guide works. The game, time, and channel will be listed. Time is…

No. 17 TCU takes on No. 19 Kansas in a battle of unbeaten Big 12 teams at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan., on Saturday. ESPN's "College GameDay" will be at Kansas for the first time, too. Game time is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on FS1. TCU (4-0) made a statement with its 55-24 victory against Oklahoma in Week 5.…

Another huge weekend of college football saw a separation of contenders and pretenders, although there are still a few teams that could go either way in the next couple of weeks. One of the teams that most experts figured to be a lock is starting to show some faults. After a second straight lackluster outing, is it time we start questioning the…

The game that Texas football fans wait all year for has almost arrived. Texas will face the Oklahoma Sooners and new head coach Brent Venables in the annual Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas this coming weekend. Head coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns look to be in a good spot heading into Red River this season. Texas has…

Pictured: Head coach Steve Sarkisian of the Texas Longhorns College football's Week 6 slate isn't anchored by a single high-profile matchup, especially compared to the huge games that are looming in Week 7. Sure, we do get No. 8 Tennessee vs. No. 25 LSU and No. 17 TCU vs. No. 19 Kansas and the Red River Rivalry,…

If you like Top 25 shakeups, well, Week 5 of the 2022 college football season might've been your absolute dream. Sure, we understood that five ranked teams were destined to lose because of their respective matchups. But five Top 25 squads took an L over the weekend, and top-ranked Georgia barely survived a serious scare at Missouri. In honor of the…

This Saturday, the Red River Rivalry matchup between Texas and Oklahoma will take place with neither team ranked. This has not happened since 1998, when Heisman winner Ricky Williams and Texas went on to claim the Big 12 title and win the Cotton Bowl, and it will mark only the sixth time in the history of the rivalry that the matchup will be…

The second Saturday in October is typically reserved for the top two teams in the Big 12 to showcase themselves to the nation. Two undefeated Big 12 teams will be in the spotlight in Week 6, but just not the two we expected to be talking about. The TCU Horned Frogs and Kansas Jayhawks are a combined 9-0 going into their showdown in Lawrence, Kansas…

Fans nationwide got a good look at Texas football when "ESPN College GameDay" came to Austin for the Longhorns game against No. 1 Alabama Sept. 10. Could the Longhorns feature in "GameDay" plans again this season? How about two more times? Prominent online betting website BetMGM says it could happen twice more - Texas football could be featured two…
