Four games this Saturday in the Big 12 with Oklahoma\/Kansas State and West Virginia\/Baylor the only two that are worth taking a look.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
The Sooners have lost to Texas and come back the next week and won at Manhattan.\u00a0 Again that is a must if OU wants any chance to win the Big 12 Championship.\u00a0 Still having the opportunity to determine their destiny, the Big Red has to win out and it starts with a hurt Wildcat team that has suffered two gut wrenching losses in conference.\u00a0 Can KSU run on the Sooner defense and if that answer is yes, look for a nail biter till the end.\u00a0 Bill Snyder will bring the house on OU\u2019s Baker Mayfield (as did Texas) and if the Sooner line does not hold up, look for a KSU win.\u00a0 OU seems to have more issues than K-State but I will give the southern visitors the nod as talent should hold out. Final:\u00a0 OU<\/span> 37, Kansas State<\/span> 34<\/strong><\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/h6>\n
West Virginia, also tagged with two conference losses, has to go to Baylor and the Bears finally face a team with a very good defense.\u00a0 No love lost here and if Baylor can get it going early the Mountaineers will get that third conference loss.\u00a0 Turnovers by West Virginia is key and if ball protection is as bad as it has been the past two weeks West Virginia has little chance.\u00a0 The Baylor defense is not as good as O-State or OU so they should score some points. Just not enough.\u00a0 Final:\u00a0 Baylor <\/span>45, West Virginia<\/span> 34<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Key National Games:<\/p>\n

UCLA at Stanford:\u00a0 Take Stanford as the freshman quarterback for the Bruins won\u2019t have enough in this one.\u00a0 The Cardinal is gaining confidence every week,\u00a0 Home field is also key.\u00a0 Stanford 24, UCLA 21\u00a0 ESPN, 10:30<\/p>\n

Iowa at Northwestern:\u00a0 I haven\u2019t been high on the Wildcats this year and the Hawkeyes will edge out a nice win on the road. Iowa 28, Northwestern 24\u00a0 ABC\/ESPN2, noon<\/p>\n

Louisville at Florida State:\u00a0 Upset here with FSU falling 27 to 24.\u00a0 Have not been impressed with the Seminoles and this week their first of nine lives fails them. ESPN, noon<\/p>\n

Ole Miss at Memphis:\u00a0 Another undefeated is gone with the Rebels in a walk.\u00a0 Ole Miss 42, Memphis 17 ABC\/ESPN2, noon<\/p>\n

Michigan State at Michigan:\u00a0 A really big one in the Big 10. Michigan continues to impress in a tight win. I was more impressed with Sparty after the Oregon win but we all know Oregon is just average.\u00a0The new coach at Ann Arbor has the greatness of the maze and gold in tune this year.\u00a0 Michigan 20, Michigan State 17\u00a0 ESPN, 3:30<\/p>\n

USC at Notre Dame:\u00a0 Traditional powers get after it in South Bend.\u00a0 Take the Irish. USC has severe problems, on and off the field.\u00a0 Notre Dame 34, USC 20\u00a0 NBC, 7:30<\/p>\n

Arizona State at Utah:\u00a0 Utes, my #1 hold on this week in a dogfight.\u00a0 Upset is possible so stay away from this one if you want to put $$$ on this one.\u00a0 Utah 31, Arizona State 24\u00a0 ESPN, 10<\/p>\n
