Let's take a look at the schedules for both Texas and Oklahoma in 2018.
The 2017 season isn't quite over, and Oklahoma, one of the four College Football Playoff participants, still has a chance to win a national title. But it's never too early to look ahead to next year. Let's compare what the Sooners will be facing in 2018 - along with their rival, Texas.
Per usual, both teams will play the other nine Big 12 schools. But Oklahoma will take on Florida Atlantic, UCLA and Army in non-con. Texas gets Maryland, Tulsa and USC.
Let's take a look at each team's schedule, week-by-week.
Oklahoma | Texas | |
Week 1 | Florida Atlantic | at Maryland |
Week 2 | UCLA | Tulsa |
Week 3 | at Iowa State | USC |
Week 4 | Army | TCU |
Week 5 | Baylor | at Kansas State |
Week 6 | Texas (Cotton Bowl) | Oklahoma (Cotton Bowl) |
Week 7 | Bye | Baylor |
Week 8 | at TCU | Bye |
Week 9 | Kansas State | at Oklahoma State |
Week 10 | at Texas Tech | West Virginia |
Week 11 | Oklahoma State | at Texas Tech |
Week 12 | Kansas | Iowa State |
Week 13 | at West Virginia | at Kansas |
Verdict: The two schedules are very, very close in terms of strength. But we'll give the edge to Texas, which has to knock off Pac-12 powerhouse USC.
