Texas 56 UCF 14
Man, this week's slate of games suck. Of course, Texas has everything to lose in this one, and George O'Leary isn't a piss-poor coach. Still, there is a 0% shot UCF is in this one. Austin will be rocking.
Kansas 28 Kansas State 24
I still find it hard to believe that kU is favored in this one, but I think everyone knows that the buckleshoes have more talent (or at least should) than K-State. This really starts the playoff for the B12N since kU, KSU, Nebraska, and Mizzou all still must play each other, minus Nebraska/Mizzou. Todd Reesing has to be playing with a chip on his shoulder after the benching and a couple weeks of L's. K-State hasn't been in the position of a big game over the past few years, and kU has. I'll go with experience in a close one in Manhattan.
Texas A&M 28 Colorado 17
As Tim Griffin said, Jerrod Johnson is one of the most underrated players in the B12. Colorado struggled last week against Blaine Gabbert's speed, and should with an even more mobile Johnson. It seemed like the Buffs checked out last week, which sucks for Dan Hawkins, who is still fighting for his gig. ATM gets this one, easily.
Oklahoma State 38 Iowa State 13
How Okie State is only a 7pt favorite is beyond me. Did the shelling against Texas do that much damage last week? OSU is still the 2nd or 3rd best team (depends on your view of Oklahoma) in conference, and Iowa State is still iffy. Zac Robinson should have a field day against ISU.
Oklahoma 32 Nebraska 6
Oklahoma has a strong D, and Nebraska has a struggling O. That isn't good. Oklahoma can throw up points, and Nebraska's D has been playing ok. If Cody Green starts at QB for the Huskers, it's like giving raw meat to a pack of wolves. So, do you go with Zac Lee, who is horrendous? It's a bad problem to have for the Huskers in this one, and Oklahoma gets the W.
