It is here.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is less than two hours away.
No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 1 LSU meet in the College Football Playoff for a chance to play for a national championship on Jan. 13.
Here are Sooners Wire’s predictions for the game.
Brayden Conover: As I’ve said all month, this is the best matchup for the Sooners. LSU’s offense is one dimensional, albeit a very complex dimension. I’ve gone back and forth on a winner just about every day this week but I think the Sooners shock the world and beat the Tigers in a shootout.
OKLAHOMA 45 — LSU 42
Derek Parker: I think a majority of this game will be close, but LSU is going to be too sound and pull away late. The Sooners just don’t have near as many offensive weapons this year, and CeeDee Lamb can only do so much. Next year will be Oklahoma’s year, but this one will go to the Tigers.
LSU 45 — OKLAHOMA 35
Kegan Reneau: For the first time in two years, Oklahoma has an offense that will be productive against a form of its old self. Lincoln Riley has morphed this offense around Jalen Hurts running ability. They have success by pounding it on the ground for four or five yards at a time and getting big third down conversions. Oklahoma’s defense can get enough to stops to give the offense a chance to control the game behind Hurts. The ultimate variable in the game are the turnovers on offense, and for the second time in the last six games, Oklahoma goes turnover-less.
OKLAHOMA 37 — LSU 31
