OKLAHOMA<\/span> AND OHIO STATE<\/span> BETTER THAN ALABAMA<\/span>?\u00a0 I THINK SO.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
You can put Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama, and LSU in my Final Four.\u00a0 The first one out is Clemson, even though they will be unbeaten at the end of the season.\u00a0 That team from the ACC is not as good as last year’s title team, and the competition they will play in that league is suspect at best.\u00a0 Two SEC teams, a Big Ten, and a Big Twelve team will play for it all this year.\u00a0 Any of the four can win it.\u00a0 And as upsets will happen, those four are the ones that will play for the mythical national championship.<\/span><\/h6>\n

      Recap for the Big Twelve<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Oklahoma, as expected routed West Virginia.\u00a0 Jalen Hurts was Heisman again for OU.\u00a0 The defense held the Mountaineers down to limited yardage.<\/span><\/h6>\n

       <\/p>\n

      <\/h6>\n
      <\/h6>\n
      Baylor was better than Okla. State and took control in the fourth quarter.\u00a0 The Bears offense used the big play and Brewer and his outfit are fast and talented.\u00a0 They will give OU and UT all they want in Waco in a few weeks.<\/span><\/h6>\n

       <\/p>\n

      <\/h6>\n
      <\/h6>\n
      Iowa State continues to improve with their win over Tech.<\/span><\/h6>\n

       <\/p>\n

      <\/h6>\n
      <\/h6>\n
      Kansas State does the same with a victory over TCU<\/span><\/h6>\n

       <\/p>\n

      <\/h6>\n
      <\/h6>\n
