Baylor

SEASON OVER

Colorado

Review: The Buffs became bowl eligible with a win over Nebraska last week.  Their D didn't play that great but their offense did plenty against a dismal Husker defense.

Preview: SEASON OVER(POSSIBLE BOWL GAME)

Iowa State

SEASON OVER

Kansas

Review:  The Jayhawks failed to show up in the first half and when they finally woke up it was too late...The offense did alright in the first half but with two missed field goals they failed to put up any points till the third quarter and there wasn't enough time...the D held the Tigers to 36 which isn't too shabby against Mizzou.

Kansas State

Review:  The Wildcats hung with Fresno St. for a while but it seemed like their D gave up once they got down.  The Cats season is now over as they failed to reach bowl eligibility.

Preview:  SEASON OVER

Missouri

Review:  The Tigers played a great all around game against rival Kansas at Arrowhead.  Chase Daniel had a huge day passing and Temple had a good day running.  The D held KU to no first half points which was very impressive.

Preview:  Mizzou goes to San Antonio to play OU for the Big 12 title and a shot to play in the national championship.  They have to play mistake free football to win.  They need to establish a running game early so Oklahoma has to respect both the run and the pass.  The Tigers can't crumble under the spotlight and the D needs to at least slow down OU's offense and get some pressure on Bradford.

Nebraska

Review:  The Huskers defense played absolutely awfully against Colorado.  The offense played well but they couldn't keep up with the Buffs.

Preview:  SEASON OVER

Oklahoma

Review:  OU dominated the Cowboys of OSU in Norman.  The offense put up 49 points and the suspect secondary played well against a strong passing game of OSU.

Preview:  The Sooners have to get pressure on Daniel and force some turnovers in this one against Mizzou for the Big 12 title.  They can't let Maclin return kicks for great field position, even if that means kicking away from him.  The offense needs to keep on trucking but they can't commit many turnovers if they want another Big 12 title.

Oklahoma State

Review:  The Cowboys got destroyed by OU.  The offense never really got going and the defense played horrendous even if it was against the Sooners, giving up 49.

Preview:  SEASON OVER(POSSIBLE BOWL GAME)

Texas

Review:  The Horns lost their final regular season game to the Aggies.  They put up 30 put the D didn't play very well at all giving up 38 to a pretty bad A&M offense.

Preview:  UNKNOWN BOWL GAME

Texas A&M

Review:  The Ags got a huge win in Franchione's final game coaching the Aggies.  They beat rival Texas and greatly increased their odds of a bowl game.  They D did just enough to pull off an upset.

Preview:  UNKNOWN BOWL GAME

Texas Tech

UNKNOWN BOWL GAME

 

PREDICTION

MU v. OU-Missouri 45 Oklahoma 38--The Tigers offense gives them just enough to move on to the championship and the D comes up big with some turnovers.

that's a nice amount of tags you've got going on there.

Pressuring Daniel will be the key for the Sooners.
We shall see.

Go Oklahomers!!!

December 1, 2007  12:50 PM ET

Yeah, if English plays that is big for you guys....I am so nervous for this game...only 7 hours and 10 minutes....

December 1, 2007  07:01 PM ET

tag em up...great blog

I wish this bloody USC game would end so I could see the Real Game!
OU by 4, fingers crossed.
Hoping that a great Tiger team's lack of Championship game experience affects them to the Sooner's favor.
If not, good luck in the Title Game and go Big 12!
Otherwise, go Boomer in the Fiesta!!

well, I'm disappointed. My Sooners won their 5th conference title in 8 years, but I really wanted a Big12 team in the title game. Now we're looking at Ohio State - Va Tech, probably.

Great blogs this season, mj.

December 2, 2007  12:36 AM ET

Thanks...I am also disappointed but we got beat by the better team and you proved that...the big reason why I am so ticked is that KU will likely get a BCS bowl and we won't yet we beat them. Illinois has a shot at a BCS bowl and we beat them...I HATE THE BCS!!!

On a happier note, congrats to your sooners and next year you guys are going to be amazing, glad we don't have to play you next year.

Please take it to KU if you play them in the Fiesta and blow them out of the water.

PS: Kansas will be the sacrificial lamb from the Big 12 North next year when they go to Norman...

If Mizzou makes the BCS I will pee myself

December 2, 2007  06:02 PM ET

Nope. Not Missouri, although since their only loss/losses came at the hands of a top 3, team they've got a pretty strong argument. And they're clearly a better team than that other team from the North division.

Fiesta Bowl Execs would be morons to put OU v. Kansas in the bowl game. The whole point is to draw the biggest viewership, so why would you choose two teams from low-populated states in the same conference? Maybe Arizona State or Hawaii.

So, Ohio State - LSU. gag.

I hope you are right and we get a BCS but...almost everything I have heard on message boards says that we are in the Cotton Bowl...probably a 5% chance that we get to a BCS. I am hoping that the Orange Bowl execs look at their fan poll because over 55% of voters would like to see Mizzou in that bowl...but I doubt that they do.

Oh well, I guess I will go back into my dark corner, depressed and downtrodden...
