The No. 7 Texas Longhorns blew out the No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Big 12 Championship Game. Here's what the College Football Playoff brackets could look like with this game in the books.

Sean Dyche said Everton’s 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest has given the club and their fans a big lift after they were docked 10 points for breaching Premier League financial rules. Dwight McNeil struck the only goal in the second half at the City Ground, slamming home his first of the season following Jack Harrison’s far-post cross. It sealed Everton victory in their second match since being handed the punishment and a day after they submitted their formal appeal against the severity of it. Dyche said: “We spoke to the players. They were very open about it. They all agreed they were ready to take it on and they have done so far. “So to get that first win after that news is very pleasing. It blows belief into the fans, into the group, into the players because they still have to look at the league table at some point. “We still have to wait and see what the appeal will bring, so in the meantime we’ve got to get on with business like we are doing.” Everton’s third win in five league games lifted them to within two points of safety, having started the evening kick-off in bottom place after Burnley’s win against Sheffield United. “People are suggesting it’s a good time to get 10 points taken,” Dyche added. “Well if they are, I tell you what, I’ll do a deal. I’ll have their 10 points, they can have the ones we got taken off us and we’ll see where we all end up. “I don’t think it’s quite as simple as that, but the key for us is to not really worry about all the different conjecture, all the stories, all the noise and stay focused on the bit we can control and that’s our performances.” Forest have slipped to three straight league defeats and back-to-back home losses to crank up the pressure on boss Steve Cooper. His side have won just one of their last 10 league games, but they struck a post through substitute Felipe’s second-half effort and created several other chances. Cooper said: “The one real chance they’ve had, he’s taken it really well. The ones we’ve had, we’ve not shown enough of the quality you need at this level to score goals.” Cooper felt his side had a good case for a penalty when Ryan Yates went down under Abdoulaye Doucoure’s challenge from the corner which led to Felipe’s effort. He added: “The other real talking point is the difference in decision-making over penalties, with Doucoure on Yates compared to the one which was given against us last week. “I won’t hide behind the decision with the result – just like I didn’t last week – but if last week was a penalty, then it has to be one today. “We’ve had two very experienced referees in the last two games and they couldn’t be any further away from being consistent in those moments.” Read More Dwight McNeil fires Everton to morale-boosting win at Nottingham Forest Paul Heckingbottom stands by his work as Sheffield United lose again Neal Maupay makes the right impression on his manager Mikel Arteta heaps praise on players as Arsenal pull four points clear at summit Will Jacks looks at positives after England central contract snub Brentford beat Luton with strong second-half show

Manchester United travel to Newcastle United this evening as both sides look to put weeknight Champions League woes behind them and consolidate form in the Premier League. Newcastle go into the game a point behind Manchester United in the table, although they have lost one fewer game than Erik ten Hag’s men. But at St James’ Park, Newcastle have been a powerhouse this season, winning six of their matches at home, and losing just one, having netted 14 goals in the process. Both sides have been dealing with injury concerns this season, although Magpie woes are more acute, they were forced to field teenagers on the bench against Paris Saint Germain in midweek, and were unable to make any tactical substitutions. Eddie Howe will be without 11 players for the match, while Ten Hag has been able to welcome back Luke Shaw in recent weeks, but United could be without seven senior members of the squad.
