Poor field position and early missed opportunities cost TCU in its first matchup with Oklahoma, a 38-20 loss in Norman. But lost amid the headlines given Baker Mayfield and the powerful Sooners' offense is the fact that the Frogs pitched a second-half shutout against an Oklahoma team that had no intentions of letting up. TCU went on to allow just 25 points combined in its next two games, and it stands to reason we'll see the needed defensive intensity from the opening kickoff in Saturday's rematch for the Big 12 title. Don't be surprised if TCU wrecks Oklahoma's playoff bid.

The Heisman Trophy is in Baker Mayfield's sights and the Oklahoma quarterback will lock it down with a big win over TCU, notching not only the sport's most prestigious individual award but a spot in the College Football Playoff. Kenny Hill is back for the Horned Frogs, but the Sooners will bring pressure, forcing him into mistakes and allowing Mayfield to turn this game sideways in the second half. Pick the Sooners.

This is a spot where we'll get to see defensive mastermind Gary Patterson go to work against this explosive Sooners' offense for a second time. In this matchup, the 2nd time will be a charm. Take the points.

I'll take the Horned Frogs plus a touchdown on a neutral field in Dallas, 30 minutes from campus, with revenge and the better defense. My numbers have Oklahoma winning by a field goal. The first time around, the Sooners were able to run for 200 yards against TCU but I'm predicting just 160 this time around and TCU will be the team with 200 rushing yards. They met just three weeks ago and TCU was getting 5.5 points in Norman. Grab the points.
