The Big 12 is about to take center stage, as a huge showdown involving the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs traveling to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns will be the site of ESPN’s College GameDay next weekend.

On Sunday morning, the best pregame show in the country took to Twitter to reveal they’ll be on hand for the highly anticipated matchup.

Of course, the showdown will have gigantic College Football Playoff implications. With TCU undefeated and looking to have an inside track on one of the four tickets to the dance if they win out, every game is a playoff game for the Horned Frogs.

Meanwhile, the Longhorns have been playing at a high level since the return of quarterback Quinn Ewers to the lineup. Entering the showdown against TCU, Ewers and company are riding the wave of defeating Kansas State by a score of 34-27, giving a Wildcats team that has been one of the pleasant surprises of the season their third loss.

On the season this far, Ewers has passed for 1,336 yards and 13 touchdowns to just five interceptions. However, his counterpart for TCU — Max Duggan — has been phenomenal in his own right, passing for 2,407 yards and 24 touchdowns to just two interceptions on the season for the Horned Frogs.

As for the rushing game, both Bijan Robinson of Texas and Kendre Miller of TCU have been wonderful throughout the 2022 season. Robinson has rushed for 1,129 yards and 12 touchdowns on the season, while Miller has gained 1,009 yards and 12 touchdowns as well.

While Steve Sarkisian was widely expected to be the one to rebuild Texas into a contender since taking his talents to the Longhorns, Sonny Dykes is actually doing it at TCU since taking over the program at the start of the season. While Dykes is enjoying an awesome start to his tenure, Sarkisian and company would love nothing more than to deliver the Horned Frogs their first loss since he took over the team.

Regardless, the atmosphere in Austin should be something to behold, and College GameDay wants a piece. TCU at Texas next weekend will be one of the biggest games of the weekend, and it’s getting the right treatment.
