Every week, the BOK staff puts its college football knowledge — and pride — on the line. We’ll pick 10 games against the spread each week, including Texas, our rivals, the College GameDay matchup, and the rest of the biggest games from around the country. We’ll also predict the final score for the Longhorns game.
