I think sooner or later when you have two teams like this, who match up a lot of ways even,

sooner or later has to be the difference.

If you're ever going to show and prove the country that you are that guy, if he can do it against them,

and come out and have a fantastic game, that's a chip on your shoulder that will not go anywhere.

Two of the biggest brands in college football square off early in 2026 as Oklahoma

now goes on the road to the big house to play the Michigan Wolverines in a matchup that we are so

fired up for. We're doing an early look and preview. As we sit here in May, we can't wait for it.

Bryce Underwood, John

Mateer, Oklahoma winning last year, no Sharon Moore anymore, obviously at Michigan. And speaking

to Michigan, David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback, Blaine Crane, former Western State, Colorado

wide receiver. And before we get started in this bad boy, and we want to know what y'all think

the score is going to be. We don't give a damn that it's made. We love talking about it. Blaine, what is the spread that BetMGM is telling us? And is there an over-under? Are we still too early in the process? Right now, I'm seeing minus two and a half Michigan. Makes sense. In this game, from an over-under standpoint, I haven't seen anything yet, but I guarantee you it'll

probably sit at 45 and a half, 44 and a half, maybe get to 46 and a half, no matter what it is.

Brother, I'm probably taking the under.

Tony, I mean, the matchups in this game. You look at the line of scrimmage. I mean, the front seven on defense going up against the offensive lines. I'm talking about both of these defenses because we know what Venables can do at Oklahoma. We know what Michigan has in that front seven and what they've become. I mean, this game is going to have a huge ripple effect and could be the difference between a 10 and 2 getting in or a 9

and 3 getting left out. First off, hats off to both of these programs for scheduling this game

out of conference. I can't wait for this matchup in September. And I told you guys a year ago,

the loser of this game was likely to not make the college football playoff. And the winner had a

good chance to get in because that's a great early win in the season. And that's exactly what happened. Oklahoma got in at 10 and 2. Michigan at 9 and 3 was on the outside looking in. I think you could say the same thing entering this season. When I look back at that matchup a year ago, there's two things that really stand out to me. One, Oklahoma stifling defense throughout the entirety of the

game. And two, John Mateer delivering in the biggest moments towards the end of the game. Not that he

played perfectly. He had some misthrows, had an interception, but he delivered in the biggest moments.

And when you look at the box score from last year, yeah, Michigan rushed for 146. But don't forget
