IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 1. Texas (4-0) (Last week:1) Last year’s Red River Rivalry was one-sided, an easy Texas victory. Expect more of the same Saturday. Two-loss Oklahoma is going to finish near the bottom of the SEC.
This visit to Iowa felt tricky. It wasn’t nearly as competitive as expected: Ohio State outgained the improved Hawkeyes 484-238 for its third dominant win since the crushing loss at Texas. An Oct. 17 trip to Indiana looms.
No style points this week for the Irish. They let ACC also-ran North Carolina hang around for three quarters before finally creating separation in a closer-than-expected 37-26 win.
Georgia and Alabama. A combined 10-0 record. Neither team has played a competitive game yet. Enough said. Bryant-Denny Stadium is the place to be Saturday.
