Big Twelve unsettled as Final Four is the same; Three upsets for the week!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The college football world gets cooking this week with the first ranking by the \u201ccommittee\u201d for the teams that hope to make the Final Four to play for a \u201cmythical\u201d and \u201cfraudulent\u201d national championship game\u00a0(no caps here).\u00a0 It is still an opinion on the four teams that are \u201cvoted\u201d to play\u00a0in a system that many more\u00a0teams are good enough to be included in the mix.\u00a0 My OU\/OSU pick is to close to call\u00a0and I will make that selection on Friday 12 noon.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Big Twelve Review<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Texas got a nice win at Baylor.\u00a0 Improvement with Shane\u00a0Buechele as the quarterback.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Oklahoma State showed improvement on defense and what a healthy offensive line can do in a win at West Virginia.\u00a0 Pokes kicking game not good.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Kansas State\u2019s 30-20 win was not good in any terms.\u00a0 Wildcats are not improving but getting worse.\u00a0 Kansas is really bad.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Iowa State held serve and beat TCU with defense.\u00a0 Horned Frogs are not all that anymore and must go to Norman.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Sooners continue to show weakness in secondary and if improvements are not made they are not winning out.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    <\/h4>\n

    This weeks predictions in the Big 12<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    OU is at OSU and preview and prediction will be out Friday<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Kansas State is at Texas Tech and the\u00a0Wildcats can compete. I like Tech 27 to 20.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Baylor gets their first win in a 38 to 10 win over Kansas in Lawrence.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Iowa State finally gets real as the Mountaineers will give them all they want.\u00a0 Cyclones run the ball on a bad defense front of West Virginia. State wins 31 to 28.<\/span><\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Last week: 3-2\u00a0 Season:\u00a0 37-12<\/span><\/h6>\n
