Oklahoma-Texas 'College GameDay' predictions: Who picked Sooners, Longhorns?

Oklahoma football faces Texas in one of college football’s best atmospheres in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Texas returns third year starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who missed its last three games with an injury. Oklahoma’s defense, which has been strong this season under coach Brent Venables, will need a strong showing to have a chance at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

There aren’t many fans and pundits giving the Sooners a great chance on Saturday.
