Texas-Oklahoma rivalry: Which school has the most wins in the Red River Showdown?

The Red River Showdown between Oklahoma and Texas is one of the best rivalries in college football.

In one of the last great neutral-site rivalries in all of college football, the Oklahoma Sooners take on the Texas Longhorns at the old Cotton Bowl in Dallas for the Red River Showdown.

These two schools have played annually for generations. This historic rivalry dates back to their first meeting in 1900. Thus far, Oklahoma and Texas have played each other on the gridiron a staggering 116 times, including twice in 1903 and in 2018. Outside of the conference championship game, of course, this is the biggest game on either teams’ regular-season schedule.
