We have reached the halfway point in the season y’all. What will Week 6 bring the world of college football? Let’s talk bold predictions.
Week 5 showed us that there is a very distinct line forming between contenders and pretenders. Simply put, there is Alabama — a big space — Georgia and then everyone else. That isn’t my SEC biased showing. That is the fact that these two teams have been the most consistent so far this season and that, in itself, will take them back to the championship and keep them at No. 1 and No. 2 in the polls, barring any craziness in the second half of the season.
What will Week 6 show us? Let’s start with bold predictions.
5. Oklahoma knocks Texas off it’s high horse in a big way
The Texas Longhorns, much to my unhappiness as someone who bleeds maroon, have been riding high since beating USC a few weeks ago. They are on a three game win streak, including wins over TCU and Kansas State.
However, this week is the one game that Texas fans really care about and really want to win. With the lack of success in recent years, all the Longhorn faithful have based success on is winning the Red River Rivalry.
The difference this season? Kyler Murray, something that also hurts my maroon heart. The former Aggie has been everything the Sooners needed and that much more. He sits atop many Heisman rankings as he continues to make plays through the air and with his feet week after week. What the Longhorns have is luck and that luck will run out on Saturday afternoon in Dallas.
Also, just a piece of advice, if you aren’t interested in this game and you live in the DFW area, I would stay far away from Fair Park and the Cotton Bowl. Between College GameDay, the State Fair and normal Red River Rivalry traffic- the city itself is going to be insane.
