5. No. 22 Texas vs. Oklahoma

Laugh all you want to, but theoretically, Texas is still alive for a playoff spot. If they Longhorns can find a way to run the table, as unlikely as that seems, they could work their way into a playoff spot if everything fell right and that is why this game makes the list.

It still seems weird that Oklahoma is unranked and completely out of the playoff race already, but the Sooners have been playing with fire in recent years, but could rely on their offense to bail them out. Well, while the Sooners offense is still good, the record is not.

Oklahoma has taken a big step back on the offensive line and that is affecting Spencer Rattler and forcing him to make play. On top of that, the defense is still terrible and that is not a recipe for success. Texas has similar issues. Their defense is also very bad and the Longhorns are committing an absurd amount of penalties.

This game has lost its luster this year, but it is huge for Texas and their faint playoff hopes.
