No. 7 Oklahoma at Kansas

The sixth-ranked Sooners will travel to Lawrence, Kansas to take on the 5-2 Jayhawks Saturday. The Crimson Tide should be rooting for an Oklahoma loss as the Sooners are undefeated with a win over Texas. The Jayhawks haven’t been as impressive as they were last season but, they’re a solid football team. Oklahoma barely escaped upset at home last weekend against the UCF Knights winning 31-29. This will be the biggest game of Kansas’ season as upsetting Oklahoma before they leave for the SEC would be a massive win for the program. The Crimson Tide would appreciate a Kansas win as it would ensure that the winner of the Big 12 would enter selection Sunday with at least one loss which would be the mark should Alabama win out and beat Georgia in the SEC title game.
