Default Re: Week 10 Early NCAA Lines

Was looking over the lines some more and I don't get how Texas is favored at all at Oklahoma State, let alone by 3 points. Sagarin has OSU 3.5 points better on a neutral field, and while the matchups look favorable for Texas at first glance with their rush defense rated 14th, the only time they faced a good rushing team this year, they gave up 216 rushing yards and 32 points to UCF.

Is this just a case of the names on the jerseys and Texas's national ranking causing them to be overrated or is there a legitimate reason for Texas to be favored here. Some injury or something that I'm missing.
