2023 will be the final Red River Rivalry to take place in the Big-12 Conference. Next season, the clash of state neighbors will take place in the SEC. The historic matchup between Texas and Oklahoma will also feature two teams ranked inside the Top 15.
The Longhorns have proven they belong with the top programs this season, having already beaten Alabama. This will be Oklahoma’s first game this season against a Top 25 program.
This one has a lot on the line. But doesn’t it always?

Since joining the SEC in 2012, Texas A&M has only beaten Alabama on two occasions. The last was a 41-38 shootout in 2021. However, the Crimson Tide have not looked like their dominant selves this season.
Both programs are coming in with one loss and a 2-0 conference record, while the Aggies are looking for another signature win under head coach Jimbo Fisher.
Currently, Alabama sits as a two-point favorite in the matchup.
Even Vegas believes fans could be in for an exciting game between the SEC West rivals.

It’s not often that a matchup between two top-25 teams carries as massive of a favorite like Georgia is in this one. However, the 14.5-point spread is just another example of how dominant the Bulldogs have been in recent years.
But for Kentucky, this game could change every aspect of a program still seeking its first-ever SEC Championship Game appearance.
A lot on the line in this one. Including the top spot in the SEC East.
Arizona vs. No. 9 USC, 10:30 pm ET – ESPN

We are nearing the end of one of the more fun traditions in college football. For those who live on the East Coast, the Pac-12 after dark will soon be a distant memory. However, there are still memories to be made.
Yes, the matchup between Arizona and USC will more than likely not be the best game. But fans will get another chance to watch Caleb Williams write another chapter in his legendary college career.
Don’t cry because it’s almost over. Cry because USC hasn’t covered the spread in their last two games.
Bet responsibly, my friends.
