Big Ten and Pac 12 Unite

The Pac 12 and the Big 10 announced that the two leagues would join forces for annual interconference games. The details are pending, but we do know the interconference games will not happen until 2017.

What are your thoughts on the interconference games?

Justin Blackmon and the NFL Draft

Justin Blackmon appears to be leaving Oklahoma State for the NFL draft. Blackmon could have left after last season when he caught 111 passes and 20 touchdowns as a redshirt sophomore. He followed that with 113 receptions for 1,336 yards and 15 touchdowns this season as Oklahoma State won the Big 12.

Blackmon will be facing Andrew Luck and the Stanford Cardinals in the Fiesta Bowl. Both teams are 11-1.

Ranking the Big 12 Bowl Games

1.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
No. 3 Oklahoma State vs No. 4 Stanford
This just has to be No. 1

2.
Valero Alamo Bowl
No. 12 Baylor vs Washington
I want to see the impact RG3 makes in this game.

3.
AT&T Cotton Bowl
No. 8 Kansas State vs No. 6 Arkansas
Many would rank this No. 2, but these are lesser-publicized teams. That matters.

4.
Insight Bowl
No. 14 Oklahoma vs Iowa
If Iowa was ranked higher, I would have moved this to No. 3. They have upset potential.

5.
Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas
Texas A&M vs Northwestern
Northwestern is fun to watch, but Texas has home state advantage.

6.
Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
No. 24 Texas vs California
Texas will be healthy.

7.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl
Iowa State vs Rutgers
Yankee Stadium is the perfect place to watch Iowa State stretch their offense.

8.
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
Missouri vs North Carolina
