The Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma is one of the biggest and best rivalries in college football. This rivalry is held at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas during the week of the Texas State Fair.

This adds to the game and how special and unique it is. Almost every year this game comes down to the wire. It is always a fun game to watch and you can even feel the importance of the game through the TV.

Texas and Oklahoma do not like each other and their fan bases are very passionate about their schools. It was announced that the “horns down” celebration will not be flagged this season so expect Oklahoma players to use that symbol vs Texas this season. Both Texas and Oklahoma are moving into the SEC.

So, how does this rivalry compare to other rivalries across the conference? Some of the biggest games in the SEC are LSU vs Alabama, Auburn vs Alabama, Georgia vs Auburn, Tennessee vs Alabama, Florida vs Georgia, and more.

The Red River game is just as hateful and competitive as any of these rivals. Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables spoke this week at SEC Media and described this rivalry as “It’s as deep seeded, hatefield and emotional of a rivalry there is in all of college football” said Venables. The SEC has some of the best rivalries in college football and the Red River is right up there at the top.

This game will only be bigger and carry more emotion because it is an SEC game and will play a role in who gets to the College Football Playoff.
