No. 3 Ohio State at No. 14 Oklahoma, 6:30 pm CT

This is the point of the day where being able to watch multiple games at once is an absolute must. Ohio State travels to Norman in a marquee matchup of blue-blood programs with huge CFP implications on the line.

Oklahoma laid an egg in their opener against Houston and are now on the ropes. A second loss before conference play even begins (against the two quality non-conference opponents on their schedule) would all but eliminate the Sooners from the College Football Playoff conversation. They face a big-time challenge against Ohio State and enter the game as a home underdog for the first time since 2000.

Urban Meyer has reloaded once again at Ohio State. Despite losing just about everyone to the NFL Draft, the Buckeyes remain explosive on both sides of the ball. J.T. Barrett can jumpstart his Heisman campaign with a big showing in this game and the Buckeyes can solidify their spot among the top contenders for the CFP.

Expect to see some back-and-forth fireworks in this game. Which side comes out on top? More importantly, how red is Bob Stoops’ face going to get when something goes Ohio State’s way? Smart money is on darker than OU’s jerseys.
