Texas and Oklahoma go at it for bragging right and the inside track to the Big 12 title. The loser can kiss their hopes of New Orleans goodbye. My pick is Oklahoma...and it won't be close.

Kitty's Roar!
The Gators come into the land of Gumbo and hookers after dropping one to Auburn. I'm telling your right now, someone better get some bibs on the LSU front line because they are absolutely drooling over the prospect of dropping the hammer on Tebow. I know he's big and strong, but the guy is still a quarterback and at some point in the game, he is going to get drilled so hard he'll see Tweety flitting around his helmet. Welcome to N'awleans, y'all! Tigers by 7.

UCLA will devour Notre Lame. 'Course my son's flag football team could do that.

OSU v. Purdue could actually be one of the best games of the day. Purdue's offense is no joke. The Boilermakers can score a lot of points in a hurry. I'm actually calling for the upset in this game. Purdue by 3.

As for my Trojans, we face a Stanford team with a rookie quarterback that has never taken a college snap. Lucky kid gets thrown into the grinder at a venue where his opponents haven't lost since 2001. No pressure. That said, the way my boys are playing right now, there is no way we beat the ridiculous 49 point spread. Oh, we'll win. The problem is this game won't tell us anything. If we look great, is it because Carroll righted the ship or because we're playing Stanford? Who knows?

Good luck to your teams, guys.
49 point spread? Man, that's almost worth betting on...wow.

Interesting call on Purdue - I was thinking the same thing...then again, I thought CU was cannon fodder for my Sooners. But they just didn't want to over exert themselves with the big game this obviously in their minds. Those dirty cheatin' Longhorns ain't gonna know what hit'em...
