Most Read This Week Preseason preview — live data arrives with the season
The Wire

The No. 2 prospect in the 2027 Rivals150 has visited four programs and discussed UNC and Ohio State.

Oklahoma is described as desperate and expected to use every available approach to generate a win.

Florida State failed on fourth down from Louisville's 2-yard line before allowing a long touchdown run in the 44-20 loss.

A loss to 2-2 Oklahoma could hurt Texas’ CFP bid as its schedule gets tougher.

Knowles, a Southlake Carroll recruit, remains committed to Illinois as Oklahoma rekindles his recruitment.

LSU and Kentucky enter the game with identical records, with LSU ranked No. 10.
