The year of the Big 12 is at hand. After being maligned all season they are now 4-1 with several significant underdogs. Not only are they 4-1 but they put in 8 teams so they are winning bowl games with the middle of their 'weak' conference. No question they don't have the great teams they normally do but they appear to have some strength down the line. Contrast that to the always over rated Pac 10 who is in the second spot at 3-1. The Pac 10 is going with their best 5 teams and were prohibitive favorites in all four so far. Of these only UCLA covered the spread despite being outgained by about 150 yards. Additional bias is shown by Oregon, the number 6 team in the country with only one loss being only a 3 pt favorite over an average Big 12 team. While they didn't have their QB that doesn't translate into that many pts IMHO. I'm also amazed that Texas Tech doesn't get any respect in the polls and yet are favored over higher ranked Bama. In conclusion I'm looking for a solid Texas win over the often challenged Trojans. Texas beat Ohio St at home and then walked thru a confernece that is 4-1 in bowl games against some fairly good teams. I'm a Buffalo so enough said there but looking forward to next year and our new Blue field.

Silly me, I changed the channel once the game was over. I expect that there will be some fallout from the brawl.

Nice sideline reporter in the NC State game. I'd like to get my hands on Heather's Mitts...

Thanks for the thread....I'm a hopelessly addicted football fan! :-)

Hubby is a U of Tulsa alumni, so have to be for them. One of my nieces is a TCU grad, so go Frogs!

What brawl?

Better tell them Torjan boys to stay away from Greek food.

Just got home from work. Another decent slate of games played so far today.
