#1 Oklahoma Sooners Versus #5 Texas Longhorns: Red River Shootout Live Thread [NCAA Football]
Just Another National Championship Elimination Game. Look For A Blowout, Sooner Rather Than Later

The annual Red River Rivalry game has arrived, and it's as big as ever. Texas and Oklahoma are each in the top 5, and the winner of this game will be in prime position for a National Championship bid. The loser of this game will take a huge hit in not only the national rankings, but also the Big 12 rankings.

Either Texas or Oklahoma have won the Big 12 South for the past 9 years. That streak will most likely continue this season, as they are the top 2 teams in the division this year, and the winner of this game looks to be on an inevitable collision course with Big 12 North powerhouse Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game.



Each team is led by a Heisman candidate at QB. Sooners QB Sam Bradford is #2 in the country in QB rating, and Texas' Colt McCoy is 4th. Bradford has 18 TD's and 3 INT's, while McCoy has 16 and 3. They both sport completion percentages in the 70's (Bradford 72.6, McCoy 79.2).



Not surprisingly, 82% of FanIQ is picking the Sooners. I can't argue with that, and I'm picking the Sooners to win 38-21. Discuss it here, or on the game page.

As odd as this may sound, I think OU is in perfect position right now. Defense is playing amazing and we got the only TD so far. The receivers will get free on one of these next plays and then look out because Bradford is getting time.

Looks like its happening this drive.

On a completely unrelated note - anyone see Brittney Spears's new music video?  The song is bad, but she's hot again.  I feel like I'm back in 5th grade again.

It didn't take long for my Texas D comment to look stupid.
