Every college football season, around the fourth of fifth game, Texas and Oklahoma go head-to-head in a continuation of their extended history, known as the “Red River Rivalry” game. This tradition first began in 1900 and has since seen these teams match up 111 times. Following Oklahoma’s 45-40 victory in the 2016 season, Texas now leads, 61-45-3.
Earlier this week, the 2017 Big 12 schedule would get announced nearly nine months in advance. We haven’t even begun bowl season yet, so it’s early timing from the conference. However, that means everyone gets an opportunity to analyze the list of matchups and anticipate what could happen in the fall of 2017.
