The Red River Rivalry is less than a month away and it might be one of the biggest matchups to date. The Texas Longhorns are currently the No. 1 team in college football after a comeback victory over Ohio State, while No. 21 Oklahoma is looking to beef up its reputation after a tough loss to Michigan.
Texas won the Red River Rivalry game in 2025, 23-6, despite Oklahoma outranking the Longhorns at the time. The Sooners were the No. 6 team before Arch Manning and the No. 19 Texas team had their say. The loss dropped Oklahoma seven spots in the rankings.
Key parts of the Texas offense have returned, including Manning and Ryan Niblett. Plus, the Sooners will be facing a stronger, higher ranked team
than they did in 2025. Is redemption on the table? Or, will the Longhorns win their third straight? Tickets are available now, but demand is expected to rise if both teams remain ranked heading into October.
