If Baylor wants to win they'll have to hope the Sooners have their cheerleaders suit up for the game. The Sooners didn't even lose to Baylor in our darkest hours (the 1990s).

Interested to see how Kansas-Okie State matchup. OSU has tons of distraction this week with their defensive star on trial for rape. Coming off a loss, but the past 4 years, OSU has won each game the weekend following their annual Texas loss. If OSU brings their A game, Kansas would have to play some stiff defense to stop the pass-happy Cowboys. Could be a fun game to watch.

Texas Tech could pull off an upset.

I'm surprised to see you pick the Cyclones over Colorado. I thought the Cyclones were the "Baylor" of the North.

Iowa State is the best 2-8 team in the nation. They are coming off a win against a decent K-State team and in my opinion K-State is a much better team than Colorado. So if they play like they did against K-State, they should win this game. Colorado is coming off a beatdown, interesting to see if they can bounce back as they are playing for bowl eligibility...

I am also extremely interested in the KU-OSU game. Should be high scoring and fun to watch. KU also has a smaller distraction as their star receiver is being charged for theft but he will be playing this week.

And TTU has a legit shot to take down the Horns but I think that Jamaal Charles won't be stopped by the weak Red Raider defense and the game is in Austin which helps quite a bit.

BU@OU-Baylor 3 Oklahoma 45~~~~Sooners in complete blowout 62~10.

CU@ISU-Colorado 21 Iowa State 27~~~~The Cyclones try to hold off the Buffs but just cant get it done 31~24.

KU@OSU-Kansas 38 Oklahoma State 41~~~~The Hawks continue their damn lucky streak and it becomes a high-noon shootout for KU 48~24.

KSU@NU-Kansas State 38 Nebraska 30--K-State comes up with a road win against a dismal Nebraska team. Can I hear a "AMEN" KSU 42~21.

TAM@MU-Texas A&M 17 Missouri 42--The Tigers play a great game from start to finish and the Aggies can't hang with the Tigers stuff. I don't know, the Tigers claws are starting to get worn down a bit, MU 27~24

TTU@UT-Texas Tech 31 Texas 34--Jamaal Charles comes up big as the Horns hang on against the Red Raiders. The Red Raiders will peledge and plunder the horns and kiss their women this week. Horns

The darn thing sucked up my text before I was finished. I was going to say that it will be TT 38~27.
Night Train

The Tigers claws can be removed and they will still score 35 on us. Mizzou 35 - A&M 15 (Fran goes for 2 because the "card" tells him to...even if it is a meaningless result)

Read up more on Kansas before making predictions. They have won on the road at Manhattan, Boulder, and Kyle Field (one of the toughest on incoming teams). Kansas has a tough defense. Don't let the Nebraska numbers sway you. OSU relies heavily on the run and Kansas allows an average of 77 yards rushing including better rushing teams then OSU, CU and ATM. OSU main passing threat is one top notch reciever, but Kansas one of the highest rated backs in the country with Talib. In the end, watch KU shut down OSU. On the defense, OSU is one of the worst passing defenses in the country.....look at KU piling up the points. In the end, this one is won by more than 17 points.

You'll then have to do the 'I'll give KU respect when they beat xxxx team' all over again.

As far as the others, CU over Iowa St, Tech over Texas, no question with Mizzou or OU.

Careful Sooner_girl, that Baylor of the North was one interception away from beating your Sooners! They've improved alot since earlier in the season, but now they won't be overlooked and will be played much harder.

Yes, Crash, after ISU and Colorado, it's clear the Sooners don't travel, they just send their jerseys and hope for the best.

I haven't watched enough Iowa State to know whether they're any good. During the OU-ISU game I was too busy throwing things at the TV and yelling at the Sooners to wake up to notice what the cyclones were doing.

Hard really to say clearly the sooners don't travel well. The Colorado game was the biggest disappointment but there were timely penalties and costly dropped passes at the wrong time that killed drives. Colorado also gets a lot of credit as they played very tough and physical the whole game. In the Iowa St. game it was mere inches on a bunch of passes that could have been touchdowns and again dropped passes hurt drives as well. Iowa St. was a much improved team than the week before when they played Texas and got hammered. Playing Missouri close shows that Iowa St. was better than their record shows. You have to remember this is Chizics first year at head coach.

KU won on the road at Manhattan, Boulder, and Kyle Field--Manhattan pulled out a six point win against an OK team. Boulder--Squeaked out a win by 5 against the Buffs(Mizzou won by 45 in Bouler)Kyle Field--If you watched that game you can't say that the Aggies were playing with any heart and they still only lost by 8.....good wins, yes, but they aren't great wins...
And why would I not let the Nebraska numbers sway me? They gave up 39 points to an awful offense with a backup quarterback. All they needed to do was shut down Purify and Lucky but they couldn't so Bowman of OSU could be a problem for KU. And Talib has been burnt by many of the good recievers that they put him on. Jordy Nelson, I remember, burnt him pretty bad for a touchdown. Bowman may not be as good as Jordy but he is still very good.

If KU wins this one I will move them up in the rankings and give them more respect

I was 4-2, not too bad...

but could've been better

So, MJ, did you see the Sooners? Horrible pass defense. Abysmal. If we don't find a secondary somewhere, the next two weeks could be ugly. If we can get Auston healthy to put some pressure on the QB, that'll help some.

I didn't see much of the game but I heard they passed all over your secondary. But they could have been underestimating Baylor and it seems that they may not be as bad as they seem. Your D held Mizzou to its season low in points and we are pass-heavy so it seems to me like they kind of play to the level of their competition

Wow.....must be impress with the Mizzou win. I mean, the only other BCS teams to let A&M score that many points on them was Baylor and Nebraska. Powerful Defense ya got there. But I'm sure its because they played with so much heart now being on the road, back to back loses and completely out of the Big12 South picture. Oh, and are 9th in the Big 12 on offense.

....and Kansas...........we just keep on rollin, rollin, rollin

12-0 has such a nice ring to it! :)

Are you really going to go there? You ignorant Kansas fans really get old...Our defense isn't as good as yours but your offense is nowhere near ours. Yes, we allowed 26 points to A&M...but who allowed 39 to Nebraska? If I remember correctly Mizzou allowed them 6 points. You beat Colorado by five....we beat Colorado by 45...Oklahoma State in Stillwater is an impressive win, yes. But it's not a great win...if that is your best win congrats...Mizzou's beat an Illinois team that just beat Ohio State. Mizzou dominated a Colorado team on the road. Mizzou dominated Nebraska before their downfall. Mizzou dominated the high powered Texas Tech offense. Mizzou almost beat Oklahoma in Norman. The least amount of points we have put up is 31. Our defense is inconsistent but if it is playing at its best it is just as good as Kansas's. And don't even try to compare offenses. Actually if you want to compare offenses start a throwdown, Mizzou's offense is hands-down better than Kansas, we could have scored 80 on Nebraska but we didn't need to. We could've scored 70 on Texas Tech but we didn't need to. We could've put up 80 on Colorado but we didn't need to...

Please go back to the trailer park you call Lawrence and never speak again...I wish Quantrill would have finished burning down Lawrence so I wouldn't have to state the obvious to ignorant Kansas fans....

But seriously, if you want that throwdown please go ahead and do it Mizzou offense vs. Kansas offense

Hit a nerve huh?

Just remember, offense isn't the only thing that wins games. Just ask Texas Tech.
