South Alabama Jaguars (1-1) at Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-0)

Saturday, 6:00 p.m. CT, ESPN+

The line on this game is -7.5, which really surprised me. Perhaps I don’t know enough about Sun Belt football. The Jaguars gave Tulane a battle on their home turf, but their pass defense ranks in the bottom 15 of the country. I’d keep my eye out on this game as a potential upset, but as of right now, I’m not buying into the hype.

Final Score Prediction: 33-10, Oklahoma State

Big 12 Football Record: 8-0
