OREGON, UTAH, ALABAMA TRUMP OKLAHOMA FOR FINAL FOUR SPOT<\/h2>\n

<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
As of today, the percentage of the Oklahoma Sooners to make the Final Four, as ranked by the committee, is not high.\u00a0 And with all the political crap and unfair way the four teams are \u201cchosen\u201d, OU has only to blame themselves for being on the outside looking in.\u00a0 The loss to Kansas State on the road was devastating.\u00a0 Even if the Sooners win out, beating TCU, Oklahoma State, and Baylor in the Big Twelve title game, a PAC 12 champion of Oregon or Utah, or a second SEC team (LSU, Georgia, Alabama)\u00a0 will probably take that fourth selection, joining the Big Ten Champ, the SEC Champ, and the ACC Champ.\u00a0 Yes, OU would need some help to make this year\u2019s Final Four.\u00a0 The system, as rubber stamped by OU, the Big 12, and the Power Five conferences, says OU is NOT GOOD ENOUGH this year.\u00a0 That is the way I see it sports fans.<\/h6>\n

    BIG TWELVE<\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Baylor had the Sooners at the gallows, noosed, and ready to pull the lever on a Texan Brazos River hanging last Saturday night in Waco.\u00a0 The lever was never pulled, and the Bears let the Big Red off the gallows, allowed them to bitch slap the Bear offense, holding them to a total of 16 plays while the Sooner offense gunned down the men in green, shooting them full of holes, without mercy.\u00a0 The men from the little red wagon won the game in the biggest Sooner comeback in history of the football program.\u00a0 The domination of Baylor in the first half (31-10) was superseded by the Oklahoma land grab in the second half (24-0). serving up the first loss for Bears.\u00a0 It showed that when OU is on their game, they are not that bad of a team.<\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/h6>\n
    The Pokes of Stillwater totally disheveled Les Miles\u2019s Kansas Jayhawks in a home win for OSU.\u00a0 A performance that advances the Cowboys to have a glimmer of hope for a Big Twelve title, if it is not expected.\u00a0 An OU loss to TCU this week and a Poke win in West Virginia would put the Bedlam game winner in the title game in BU wins just one of their final two games.\u00a0 The Bears should do that with Texas and Kansas ending their schedule.<\/h6>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    <\/h6>\n
    TCU, Iowa State, and West Virginia all posted wins Saturday.\u00a0 Texas, Kansas State, and Texas Tech were the losers.<\/h6>\n

      Games this week in the Big Twelve<\/h4>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Oklahoma host TCU in another night game.\u00a0 Could be close depending upon which Sooner team shows up.\u00a0 I expect a close Sooner win, something like 37 to 27.\u00a0 An upset is possible.<\/h6>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Oklahoma State travels to Morgantown for an early morning rooster kickoff.\u00a0 Look for another typical Big 12 tussle here and I will take the Hillbillies in an upset.\u00a0 West Virginia 27 and Oklahoma 26.<\/h6>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Iowa State should take KU apart in Ames.\u00a0 Cyclones 41 and Jayhawks 19.<\/h6>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Texas goes to Baylor and will suffer another loss.\u00a0 Baylor in an easy 42-21 win.<\/h6>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/p>\n

      Texas Tech host Kansas State and the ball control of the Wildcats should win out.\u00a0 KSU 31 and the Red Raiders 24.<\/h6>\n
