Picks

This weekend’s picks:

●NCAA●
Oklahoma at Oklahoma St. – Bedlam, Big XII, and BCS are on the line this Saturday. Two more B’s factor in: OU’s Bradford and OSU’s Bryant. Sooners’ defense is much more impressive than the Cowboys’ D. Playing in Stillwater will be a factor, but not enough. Crimson and Cream 38-27
Baylor at Texas Tech – With the Texas win, the Red Raiders can hope for an OSU victory and save themselves from the mercy of the BCS pollsters. That means there is that much more to play for. Tech 56-14
Kansas vs. Missouri – Border War won’t do a thing this year to decide the Big XII North champion. But the hatred is still there. Neutral site added to the mystique of this one. Daniel has the slight edge over Reesing and has a better cast of characters around him. Tigers 35-27
Colorado at Nebraska – Last chance for Buffs to become bowl eligible. Sorry guys, maybe next year. Huskers 28-14
Kentucky at Tennessee – One more win keeps the Vols to only seven losses on the season. Man, that sounded weird. Phil goes out on top at home. Big Orange 24-23
Auburn at Alabama - #1 team faces its toughest test since assuming that title this year – beating the arch-rival. The Tide will get it done, but the first half will be a struggle. ‘Bama 34-17
Mississippi St. at Mississippi – Last week’s take down of Miles and LSU earned the 2008 Egg Bowl a spot in this week’s picks. And even though Coach Croom really needs this win, the Rebels have too much offense. Wow, that sounds odd. Ole Miss 31-21
LSU at Arkansas – Humility is something that Bobby Petrino has needed for some time. That and honor. LSU helps out with the humility lesson. Tigers 28-21
Florida at Florida St. – The FSU game before an SEC Championship game has posed problems for the Gators in recent years. No problem this year. Tebow shines again and stays in the Heisman hunt to attempt a repeat performance. Gators 42-20
Enjoy the rivalries.

●NCAA Div. II●
Northwest Missouri at Abilene Christian – This will be the second consecutive weekend for a rematch of a 2008 regular season game to take place at Shotwell Stadium. Fortunately for the Bearcats, ACU probably won’t score 93 again this week. Unfortunately, a loss is still a loss. Wildcats 52-37
