- The offense sucks and the coaching staff appears to have given up on the idea of using the running backs to balance things out, but watch out for Texas. The Longhorns will roll out of bed and blow up Iowa State as part of a run of five home games in the final six. The road trip is at Kansas State … whoopee. If the defense can rise up against Oklahoma State, Texas is going to win out, be 10-2, and will be right there for yet another Big 12 South title until the final day.
- It’ll help that Oklahoma will lose twice. Flip a coin on whether or not the Florida State Sooners show up in Columbia instead of the Utah State or Cincinnati versions, but at some point, either this week, or in Waco, or in College Station, or Stillwater, the clunker will come.
- Please, no gushing about how good the Sooners are based on blowing away Iowa State.
- Nebraska’s defense doesn’t give up jack squat. If Oklahoma State puts up at least 21 points and beats the Huskers, it’ll be time to really get excited. With dates against Texas and Oklahoma still to deal with, the chances will be there for the Cowboys to get the national respect needed to fly up the BCS rankings.
- Baylor, if you want to go to a bowl game for the first time as a member of the Big 12, take care of business at home this week against Kansas State. The final four games are at Texas, at Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. The Bears are good enough this year to win at least one of those, but the collar will quickly get tight if a sixth win isn’t already secured.
