COMMENTS

Oklahoma at Auburn. Sounds strange but it’s here. These are the games we’ve been looking forward to for a couple of years. Both of these teams are coming off 10-point losses at home. I think Oklahoma has the edge in this one. However, Auburn could make things interesting playing in Auburn.
