As everything seems to constantly change in college football, the second weekend of October does not.
The No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners will play the unranked Texas Longhorns in the 121st edition of the Red River Rivalry on Saturday inside Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas.
Both teams to this point have went the opposite direction of their preseason expectations. The Sooners went from being unranked in the preseason Coaches Poll to No. 6 in both major polls heading into Week 7 at 5-0. Texas just made history as the quickest preseason No. 1 team to go from the top to completely out of the rankings after losing to Florida last week to drop to 3-2 and still after its first win over a Power Four team.

Who are the announcers for the Red River Rivalry

What is the series history between Oklahoma and Texas?

Dallas weather on Saturday
Per usual in Texas, it will be a warm Saturday in Dallas. The projected high for Saturday is 85 degrees, which should be close to the temperature for the 2:30 p.m. kickoff. There's no chance of rain.
What are the current odds for Oklahoma vs. Texas?
Despite being the undefeated top-10 team, Vegas actually has Oklahoma as the underdog in the Red River Rivalry against unranked Texas, but odds have been a rollercoaster. After oddsmakers had the spread as much as 3 points Monday, on Tuesday, after news broke that OU quarterback John Mateer could possibly play, the margin instantly shrunk.
Then on Thursday, Mateer's status was upgraded from questionable to probable, and the Sooners almost instantly became 1.5-point favorites. That then changed Saturday morning just hours before kickoff.
According to FanDuel, BetMGM and DraftKings, Texas is a 1.5-point favorite as of Saturday morning.
