Sometimes things just work out...
No Big 12 Championship game anymore, but the schedule just happened to work out that the top 4 teams, 3 of which only have 1 conference loss all play on Championship Saturday.
The Texas offense will have to score A LOT of points to keep this thing close. The defense has been decimated. Texas top 3 linebackers at the beginning of the season, and the big man in the middle, Chris Whaley (who also has two touchdowns on the season) is out. The run defense will be pretty soft.
Hopefully, Okie Lite exposed the Baylor defense and Texas can capitalize on it.
It'll be a lot more exciting of a game if Okie Lite loses, then it legitimately is the Big 12 Championship Game. I'm just not sure I have it in my to root for OU.

The Big 12 has an interesting weekend...only the Big Ten match intrigues me more.
OK State is favored by Vegas...IBut I know that these rivalry games can throw odds out the window sometimes....

Now...This is surprising..
A Vegas Sports book like OSU against the Noles better then Auburn or Mizzou...
"Las Vegas oddsmakers, however, think the nation actually will be better served with Florida State against Ohio State.
The Bovada.lv sports books makes Florida State a 10-point favorite over Ohio State but likes the Buckeyes in a title matchup against the SEC.
Ohio State is a 2.5-point favorite over Auburn and a 3.5-point favorite over Missouri."

Ohio State can't beat Florida State IMO.

I'm not sure if they can, but I wouldn't like Auburn or Missouri in a seven-game series either (anything can happen in one game). I think the Buckeyes would do fine against either of the possible SEC champs.

Does Baylor beat Texas?
I do have OK State beating Oklahoma...but how in the world did WVU mess up OK State's season? Statistically, WVU is one of the worst in IA....
That one game makes me wonder what I have missed with the Pokes.

I thought I noticed a trend earlier in the year of West Virginia playing well at home. But then they knocked off TCU on the road and dropped the home finale to Iowa State, so I have no clue what to make of West Virginia this past year. There was a lot of turmoil at the QB position. I think Holgerson had three different guys manning the offense at different points throughout the year.

Bedlam ...
Oklahoma St has the talent to get into field goal range ... but it's gonna take precision & execution with only 11 seconds left.
Oh!
First sack of the game, leaves 2 ticks on the clock . . .

Yikes, fumble on the lateral; Oklahoma score a touchdown . . . meaningless, but the best way to rub it in.
Texas/Baylor . . . you're up!
The Big XII title is now yours for the taking.

Very entertaining game. I always love upsets unless it is my team being upset, or I have a wager on the favorite.
