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.

Arch Manning and Texas finally figured some things out on Saturday afternoon and picked up their first Power 4 win of the season.

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.

Texas A&M and Texas Tech are both 6-0 and tied for first in their respective conferences as the regular season hits the halfway mark.

That, plus plenty of shake up near the end of the ballots, will highlight the key shake ups for Sunday's new rankings release.
