We are just a few hours from kick off in the mammoth showdown featuring No. 9 ranked Texas football and the No. 6 LSU Tigers at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Texas comes into this game as about a one-touchdown underdog despite the home-field advantage and the strong recent performances against top 10 opponents.
A win for Texas this weekend would likely bring them right into a new realm in terms of the College Football Playoff picture. Would a win over LSU also put Texas in position to jump the Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines to get into the top five?
