Saturday, 11:00 a.m. CT, ESPN

Coming off a 3-9 season in the Sun Belt, expectations remain relatively low for former Tennesse head coach Butch Jones’ squad. Oklahoma might have struggled last season, but the talent gap is about as sizeable as you could imagine one to be. This game will be over by the end of the first half.

Final Score Prediction: 48-10, Oklahoma
