Texas is such a big underdog

That's quite shocking. But, I'm not really impressed with either Texas or Oklahoma

Texas should win, they'll stop the run (to an extent) and force Jalen to throw the ball.. which UT hasn't been great defending yet OU hasn't faced any kind of defense

OUs two starting OL are out too, and Kansas DL was destroying them.. I see a lot of TFL for Texas, but still a shootout regardless

+11 is free money, OU hasn't covered the line since 2012 and Sam just won't let that happen

edit: I may be a tad biased, haha

Good luck on Saturday. Oklahoma is overated and cruising for a bruising, but I'm not sure y'all can do it.

I'm on record: I'm predicting Baylor to win the Big XII. Baylor is vastly improved and draws both you and Oklahoma in Waco.

LSU needs Oklahoma to win and go undefeated so it keeps a 1 loss Alabama out of the playoff.

LSU 13-0
Clemson 13-0
Oklahoma 13-0
Ohio State 13-0
Alabama 11-1

If Texas wins it opens the door for Alabama to sneak in at 11-1 after a loss to LSU.

Yes, it must be those convincing wins over top competition that has you so pumped up. Beating the likes of
1-Houston (2-3 with a loss to Tulane)
2-South Dakota ( a 2-3 FCS team)
3-UCLA (1-5 at the bottom of PAC12)
4-Texas Tech (3-2 & a terrible team)
5-Kansas (2-4 w/loss Coastal Carolina)

The combined records of the teams OU has played is 10-17. Carry on.
Vanderbilt (yes, 1-4 Vanderbilt) scored 38 points on LSU, but whatever.

14 of those were on turnovers by the offense and 7 of those were when it was long over but feel free to compare OUs schedule to LSUs from here on out

I'm not sure that all 4 teams will go undefeated. I'm also not sure that a 13-0 Clemson gets in over an 11-1 Alabama. Clemson's schedule is awful, and the they still haven't looked great.

4 teams going undefeated you are correct is unlikely but a 13-0 Clemson will definitely be in. If Wisconsin had won the B1GCG in 2017 they would have gone over 11-1 Alabama

I don't think Baylor wins the conference, but I agree that people are sleeping on them, and their schedule is ideal.

Dude, they aren't going to leave out the undefeated defending champions. That's absurd.

Just for the record, I went to LSU and have been here for years. My daughter started at OU this semester. Granted, they DO NOT have the schedule and gauntlet that LSU has to traverse. However, LSU's schedule has been sort of cream-puffy (except Texas) to this point.

It's not OU's fault that UCLA decided to become irrelevant, or that Texas Tech decided not to keep pace as they used to. When they blow out UT by a wide margin, we'll have a decent comparison. It's coming.
