Sooners crush South Dakota and will do the same to UCLA?; Horns suck and are definitely not back; Top 25; Predictions of the week….

The LSU Tigers have proven that they will be a force to be reckoned with this year as they neutered the Texas Longhorns into a Steer.  Another big win for a top SEC team and a significant loss for the Big Twelve.

2. LSU
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma

Final Four:  Alabama vs Oklahoma; Clemson vs Ohio State

Big Twelve recap:

Oklahoma destroyed South Dakota as expected.

Oklahoma State destroyed McNeese as expected.

LSU showed us that Texas is very poor in the defensive secondary and that does not bode well with their games with OU, Texas Tech, and in two week, Oklahoma State. They must show improvement or the Horns will be looking from the outside when the Big Twelve Championship game is played in December. Fans in Austin need to be worried.

Texas Tech played ok in beating UTEP, holding the Miners to a field goal.

Poor Kansas.  Coastal Carolina is better than KU in Lawrence.

Baylor wins in a rout.  Good job Bears

Kansas State wins in a rout. Good job Wildcats.

Missouri rips West Virginia.  Not so good for Mountaineers.

Big Twelve Predictions  (last week 6-2 and 16-2 for the season)

Friday, Sept. 13

Boston College hosts Kansas and will put a big time hurt on the Jayhawks 52 to 10.

Saturday, Sept 14

Kansas State can upset Mississippi State but not today.  Bulldogs 27 and Wildcats 17 down south.

North Carolina State 35 over West Virginia 13 in Morgantown.  Could be worse.

Iowa 23 and Iowa State 17 as the offensive problems continue for the Cyclones.  And this one is at Ames.

TCU will beat Purdue but it will be close.  Frogs 34 and Boilers 32. 

Oklahoma State will have a close one with Tulsa but in the final, T-Boone’s Pokes win 32 to 28.

Will UCLA show up?  Their fans will not so I say no.  OU beats the living shit out of the Baby Bears 63 to 20.

Texas goes to the city of Houston and will also beat the crap out of someone. This is RICE and RICE is going to get mashed.  Texas 59 and the Owls 15.

Texas Tech travels to Arizona and the Red Raiders will raid Tucson 48 to 21.
