The Oklahoma Sooners have another top-15 upset opportunity in front of them.
The Sooners host No. 15 Kentucky under the lights of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday. OU is coming off a monumental upset of No. 1 Texas in the Red River Rivalry, proving the Sooners "ain't that bad" and can beat any team across from them.
Kentucky, though, is also riding high after a top-10 upset of its own. The Wildcats are on a four-game winning streak and just beat then-No. 10 LSU 35-34 in overtime at home. That result earned the Wildcats back some respect, as they went from falling out of the rankings to skyrocketing into the top 15.
Now, in Week 7, one of these two teams will be humbled, and likely even have their College Football Playoff chances disappear in what's just the fourth meeting between the programs. It's also a rare matchup in that there's a guaranteed upset, depending on whether you consider rankings or who Vegas favors.

Predicting Oklahoma vs. Kentucky
Vegas is usually onto something when it comes to the Sooners in 2026.
When the rest of the college football world believed OU had an easy win over Michigan, Vegas set the spread low at 4.5 points, and then the Wolverines lost a lot of people's money. The Red River Rivalry had the makings for a blowout with a matchup between the top team and an unranked squad, but Vegas still kept it close at 7.5 points, and then OU took down the Longhorns.
Now, Vegas is flat-out predicting the upset in Norman, with the Sooners once again unranked and wearing crimson as the home team.
It's been no secret that the Sooners' greatest weakness has been their lifeless offense with a porous offensive line that's decimated by injuries, a dysfunctional running game, and a turnover-prone quarterback. An upset over Texas didn't cure OU's offense, but there's still hope because the Sooners won't face a tougher defense this season than they already have.
Outside of UTEP in Week 1, Kentucky is the weakest defense the Sooners have faced this season. The Wildcats have the No. 108 scoring offense in the FBS while giving up 28 points per game. Four of OU's five first opponents boast a top-25 scoring defense.
On the flip side, Kentucky also hasn't seen a defense as stout as OU's. First-year coach Will Stein is an offensive mastermind, but he still might not have a bigger football brain than defensive guru Brent Venables, dialing up pressure on the other sideline.
Don't call it an upset, but the Sooners are about to take down top-15 teams in back-to-back weeks to improve to 4-2 and turn the season around while keeping CFP dreams alive.
