The games worth caring about
#1 Ohio Stateat#8 Texas
The board reads Ohio State No. 1 to Texas No. 8, a 13.7-point gap in team strength. Ohio State at 63% is the pick, but this is the game the week is measured by: 10-2 against 8-4.

Oklahoma by 34
prob
Oklahoma would be expected to control this from the opening drive.
- Oklahoma has been playing at a level UTEP hasn't reached yet, and that's the whole game right there.
- Verdict has Oklahoma 106 spots higher at No. 17. Rankings don't tackle anybody, and this is where that gets tested.
- Across a full year Verdict expects Oklahoma to finish 7-5 and UTEP 5-7 — neither one of these teams is here by accident.
- Oklahoma has the home building too, which only pads what the projection already believes.
