OU loss puts O-State at the top of Big 12? Predictions and rankings for the week….Auburn over Georgia…..

First off, it was not a good week for my predictions but I did get the Mississippi State upset over LSU correct.  The Oklahoma debacle with Kansas State was not expected and the Big 12 looks like a league without a great team let alone a better than average one.  On the national scene, Clemson and Alabama are the best with Ohio State entering the picture later this month.   College football is up and going but further interruptions are more and more looking like the devil in the 2020 season.

OU was well on their way in beating Kansas State but horrible plays giving the Wildcats interceptions and a fumble recovery with a block punt was just enough for the upset.  It was a heart breaking loss in Norman and the Sooners are now under the gun going to Iowa State this Saturday.  Oklahoma State currently has the best defense in the conference and it showed in their hard play against West Virginia.  Texas was lucky to beat Tech in Lubbock and that defense in Austin is just plain horrific.  Baylor won and can be a contender if they continue to improve.

This weeks games have:

OU going to Ames to play the Cyclones.  Iowa State beats OU because they are better on defense.  Cyclones 41 and Sooners 39

Oklahoma State visits Kansas.  It will be a tough hard fought game and KU is primed to upset OSU.  Look for a big day by the KU running back Pooka Williams Jr. and the Jayhawks win 31-24.

Baylor travels to Morgantown and this will be a pivotal game for both.  Baylor loses a close one 38 to 31.

Texas makes the trip up I-35E and gets handed their first loss 28 to 27.  Texas, again, is not back.

Texas Tech is in Manhattan and the KSU Wildcats win again by a rather easy 42 to 21.
