The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys have mountains to climb in the Big 12 Championship Game this weekend. It's been a long time coming for both programs.

There's only one more Saturday without college football before the 2023 season kicks off. Our opinions are starting to solidify. We recently shared our standings prediction, but given Iowa State's betting scandal our prediction changes. We don't think the Cyclones will beat the Longhorns without an experienced starting quarterback. And there's a…

Every once in a while, college football presents us with point spreads that can seem "off." In Week 10, Clemson was favored by just 3.5 points over Notre Dame. At the time, Clemson was ranked No. 4 while Notre Dame was unranked. Well, Notre Dame went on to win outright. However, it's not every day you see teams within the same conference where the…

It was the Wildcats' first victory over the Cowboys…
