College football Week 8 odds, picks, predictions, TV channel, streaming information for Baylor Bears at TCU Horned Frogs game Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025.
The No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners face the Texas Longhorns, led by quarterback Arch Manning, on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2025 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas.
The Horned Frogs (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) have dug themselves a hole to climb out of. They’re 12th in the Big 12 standings and might need a bit of late-season magic to catch any of Texas Tech, BYU or Cincinnati atop the conference. A loss next weekend to Baylor (4-2, 2-1) may drop TCU into a position that it won’t have time to escape from.
Arch Manning and Texas finally figured some things out on Saturday afternoon and picked up their first Power 4 win of the season.
