Texas is coming off three-straight wins since a Nov. 3 loss to then-No. 13 West Virginia. Those wins included a 24-10 victory over No. 16 Iowa State. Oklahoma, on the other hand, has won each of its last six games, with its last loss coming against ... the Longhorns, on Oct. 6. In fact, that’s been their only loss this season.
That game was extremely close, with Texas narrowly winning, 48-45, in a big shootout. The Longhorns had a 45-24 lead going into the fourth quarter, but allowed three touchdowns by the Sooners to tie it up. With nine seconds on the clock, the Longhorns kicked a game-winning field goal to get the big win, still their best of the season.
Below is all you need to know going into the game.
Texas vs. Oklahoma prediction
As of the very latest S&P+ rankings, Oklahoma is ranked fourth in the nation with 22.9 points, a rise of one spot from the previous week. Texas has dropped a couple spots, and sits at 35th in the nation with 7.4 points. That implies a 15.5-point advantage for Oklahoma on a neutral field. It’s technically a neutral field, but it should be packed with Texas fans.
