Week 7 Questions: Should Texas be favored over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry?

Each of the 13 FBS teams in Texas will be halfway through the 2025 season at the conclusion of Week 7. UTEP began the week of action by losing at home to Liberty on a Wednesday night. Sam Houston continued the Lone Star State’s Conference USA’s woes by falling to Jax State. Entering Friday night, the two CUSA squads – UTEP and Sam Houston – are a combined 1-11. The other 11 schools in Texas are a combined 41-15. 

Week 7 is another pivotal week for the in-state contenders. North Texas kicks it off with possibly the biggest game in program history on Friday night against No. 24-ranked South Florida. Saturday includes the Red River Rivalry, Texas Tech’s first home game as a Top 10 team in over 15 years, and Texas A&M hosting a Florida squad that knocked off the Longhorns last week.
