Baylor
Review: The Bears lost their final game of the year to Oklahoma St. The offense did little but the defense was the biggest problem in this one...
Preview: SEASON OVER
Colorado
Review: BYE WEEK
Preview: The Buffs get a home game with Nebraska on Friday. With bowl eligibility on the line, both teams will be giving their all. CU needs to shut down Ganz and the Nebraska offense that has been looking better...the CU offense also needs to get rolling early and get some momentum.
Iowa State
Review: In the Cyclones final game of the year, they got destroyed in Lawrence by the Jayhawks. The offense only scored once and this was largely due to KU penalties. The D played awful and just couldn't stop Reesing and the Hawks
Preview: SEASON OVER
Kansas
Review: The Jayhawks totally dominated ISU in Lawrence, KS this past week. The Hawks played almost flawless on offense and aside from a few unnecessary penalties, played flawless on D.
Preview: The Hawks get to go to Arrowhead and take on the Tigers of Missouri. If they want a chance in this one, they need to at least slow down the high powered Tiger offense. They also need to get the running game going against the Tiger D. Special teams could be a key to this game...
Kansas State
Review: The Wildcats hung with Mizzou for the first half. They held the Mizzou offense to 21 in the first half...but they couldn't score enough do get the job done. The O line allowed quite a bit of pressure on Josh Freeman but the running game did extremely well. The special teams allowed a kickoff return for a TD which hurt them pretty badly...
Preview: The Cats travel to Fresno State this weekend, fighting for bowl eligibility. This Fresno State team is no pushover. If the running game can get going early and the passing game does fairly well, the Cats have a good shot. They can't allow any special teams touchdowns like they did last week and the D has to play better than last week.
Missouri
Review: The Tigers played decent in the first half and very well in the second half to get their first win in Manhattan, KS since 1989. Mizzou played well on offense as always but their run D was pretty bad, giving up over 100 yards in the first half. The special teams got a punt blocked but redeemed themselves with Jeremy Maclin returning a kickoff for a touchdown, the Tigers first since 1982.
Preview: Mizzou gets a neutral site game on Saturday against the hated Jayhawks of Kansas. The keys to this game for Mizzou is to get some pressure on Reesing. They also have to play better run D if they want a win. MU also has to continue to play well on offense and they can't afford a blocked punt or special teams mishap.
Nebraska
Review: BYE WEEK
Preview: The Huskers travel to Boulder to take on Colorado in a fight for bowl eligibility. The Huskers defense has to contain the Buffs running game and QB Joe Ganz needs to have a big day to win this one.
Oklahoma
Review: OU lost to Texas Tech on the road last weekend. They lost QB Sam Bradford and never really recovered. They almost came back but they just couldn't quite pull it off in the end.
Preview: The Sooners get a home date with the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. With or without Bradford the offense needs to play well to have a shot against the high powered OSU offense. The questionable secondary of OU needs to step it up if they want to win the Big 12 South.
Oklahoma State
Review: The Cowboys went on the road to Baylor and blew the Bears out. They played extremely well on offense and pretty good on defense. The Cowboys became bowl eligible with this win.
Preview: The Cowboys can make themselves alot sexier to bowl representatives this weekend if they can knock of OU. They need to get the passing game going against this Oklahoma secondary and they need to win the turnover battle of course. They cannot let the Sooners crowd rattle them...
Texas
Review: BYE WEEK
Preview: The Horns take on rival Texas A&M on Friday. They have to go to College Station which can be a very tough place to play at, no matter how down the Aggies are. They need to get Jamaal Charles rolling early and they can't afford very many mistakes.
Texas A&M
Review: BYE WEEK
Preview: The Aggies have a home game against Texas. The Aggies are already bowl eligible but they can improve their chances of actually getting invited to a bowl with a win over the Longhorns. They need to get J-Lane running good and they need the defense to step up in a big way and stop Jamaal Charles and the Longhorns.
Texas Tech
Review: The TTU Red Raiders beat Oklahoma last week and improved their record to 8-4. The high powered offense tore up the weak OU secondary and Graham Harrell had a huge day. The defense did just enough to prevent the Sooners from coming back in the end.
Preview: REGULAR SEASON OVER
PREDICTIONS:
NU@CU-Nebraska 45 Colorado 42--The Buffs can't stop Joe Ganz and the Husker offense in this shootout.
MU@KU(at Arrowhead)-Missouri 41 Kansas 34--The Mizzou offense is just too much for KU and the Hawks suffer their first loss of the year.
KSU@FSU-Kansas State 35 Fresno State 31--The Cats achieve bowl eligibility in a nail biter over Fresno State.
OSU@OU-Oklahoma State 35 Oklahoma 48--The Sooners slow down OSU while the Cowboys can't slow down the Sooners attack.
UT@TAM-Texas 45 Texas A&M 21--The Aggies can't get it done as Texas dominates the Aggies in College Station.
Last week--3-1

Oklahoma is in trouble with their three best players injured. They could still pull out a win but it'll be tough.

It should be a close game because Mizzou has gotten better since their loss to OU earlier...the Tigers need to ride the momentum but they can't get to involved with the media...

I'd like you to know MJ, that last night in the game-time chat room, I tried to tell them all your Tigers would be #1 in the BCS today. But does anybody believe me? Noooooooooo.
Now I just have to decide whether I want the Sooners to win because they're my team or if I want Missouri to win so a Big12 team plays for the title. It has been my fear all along that we'd take turns knocking ourselves out of contention...

I thought that if we came out with a win we would be number one...afterwards I wasn't so sure with all the WV talk...but once I heard we were tops in the Harris poll and we had most computers behind, I was pretty sure we had the top spot. If I were you I would have to go for my team but at least your not in an awful situation...best case scenario for you is that your Sooners win and go to BCS game...worst case is that a Big XII team plays for the national title game...
As for the game on Saturday....
Not sure if we have enough in the tank to beat you guys...but if we can keep the momentum from Saturday and play a complete game, not just a first half or first three quarters, and if Chase D. can continue to play at his high level I have to say I like the Tigers....but then again, the Sooners are coached by Stoops so that has got to be worth something...plus you have a great team this year....I think that Maclin lost a little bit of his hype because he didn't blow up against KU...maybe OU could overlook him and focus more on the TE's especially if Coffman plays. We need to get Tony Temple running so that we have that threat to keep OU on their toes. The Tigers passing offense should be able to tear apart the OU secondary but they did play well against Okie St...On D, the Tigers got lucky in that Murray won't play...but they still need to stop the running game and at least slow down the passing game...they need to get some pressure on Bradford who hasn't played in a high magnitude game for a Championship yet. If we can get him rattled and force a few turnovers then I really like our chances...playing for a NC bid should also up all of Mizzou's play but I am sure OU is sick of hearing about Chase Daniel and Mizzou....

ya our dline really put pressure on reesing and i no that rattled some throws, dont get me wrong ou is good i mean there playing for a champ.for a reason, but i really dont see mizzou losing this game, it maybe just the fact that we r in new territory and thats got me excited, but we have so many offensive threats, i'll be shocked and amazed if they stop our O, but our D is going to play like they played in the first 3 qtrs last week against a supposed offense better than ours(espn, not me) im srry sooner i dont see mu out of the nc.
