Big 12 Game of the Week

#1 Oklahoma vs. #11 Missouri

Are the Missouri Tigers contenders or pretenders? We will find out this week. The Missouri Tigers come in 6-0 but have played a very soft non-conference schedule. Their most impressive win was a 30-9 victory last weekend vs. Texas A&M. The Oklahoma Sooners come in 6-0 and have beaten #17 Florida State and #21 Texas. They are the sup rise #1 team atop the BCS standings.

Prediction: I want the Missouri Tigers to win to get some parity but I think the Sooners are too strong. Oklahoma 34, Missouri 20.

Big 12 Game of the Week

Nebraska is flying high right now and reminding football fans that they want to get back to the top of college football. Texas is coming off two consecutive losses, to UCLA and Oklahoma at home. They will be hungry for a victory and optimistic about pulling off the upset.

Big 12 Game of the Week

#11 Arkansas at Texas A&M

- Here is my game of the week. For starters, Arkansas nearly took down the #1 team in the country, Alabama and have Heisman candidate Ryan Mallett at quarterback. Texas A&M have Jerrod Johnson. I expect a high scoring game as the Aggies only loss was a 38-35 defeat to the #22 Oklahoma State Cowboys.
