Here are Randall's picks for Week 6 of high school football in the Amarillo area. Palo Duro (3-1) vs Wichita Falls Memorial (4-1) (at West Texas A&M); Pick: Memorial by 4 Dalhart (4-1) at Muleshoe (4-1);

Texas will attack this phase of the season as a four-week block. First comes the bye. Then Texas has games against Oklahoma, Georgia and Vanderbilt.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian doesn’t care about the polls, and he sure doesn’t care about mathematical projections. But it’s interesting to see which team still has the perceived inside track to go the distance undefeated.

Multiple schools in the Amarillo area will play their second district contest this week, while a number of other programs in the Panhandle have a bye in Week 6 ahead of their district slate starting next week.

After reaching the College Football Playoff last season, the Texas Longhorns certainly look like a championship contender this fall. Ranked No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, Texas is off to a 5-0 start this season.
