TCU vs. Oklahoma Big 12 championship: What to know about the Frogs and Sooners

No. 10 TCU (10-2) vs. No. 4 Oklahoma (11-1)

Kickoff: 11:30 a.m. Saturday, AT&T Stadium, Arlington.

TV: KDFW/Ch. 4

Radio: WBAP/820 AM, KTCU 88.7 FM

Series: Oklahoma leads 12-5 and has won six of seven, including the Nov. 11 game in Norman, since TCU’s season-opening upset of a fifth-ranked Sooners team in Norman in 2005. In Big 12 meetings, Oklahoma leads 5-1, its only loss 37-33 in Fort Worth in 2014.

Weather: The game will be played indoors. This is TCU’s first indoor game since the Alamo Bowl in January 2016. Outside, conditions will be sunny with a high of 73, no chance of rain and 50 percent humidity.

Who’s favored: Oklahoma by 7.

What’s this about: The winner is the Big 12 champion. OU is almost certain to make the College Football Playoff with a victory. TCU is less certain to make the CFP but would very likely end up in a New Year’s Six game, either the Fiesta, Cotton or Peach, which have at-large slots.

Last week: No. 10 TCU 45, Baylor 22; No. 4 Oklahoma 59, West Virginia 31

Last meeting: No. 5 Oklahoma 38, No. 8 TCU 20, Nov. 11 in Norman
