Big 12 Genie: Week Seven

The Genie took a well-deserved week off last week. The Magic 8-Ball got tossed around a bit and was a little shaken. It's back this week for some huge B12 matchups.

Oklahoma 28, Texas 24

This is the best game of the weekend, and like I told RPT from Rock M Nation, I think Mizzou, Oklahoma, and Texas could be argued to be the top three teams in the nation in any order. There won't be a winner in this one, just a survivor.

Oklahoma has looked damn near unstoppable the entire season, and Bradford lit up the 'Horns last year. Coin flip! I don't want to root for injuries, but...

Kansas 38, Colorado 10

If this game was in Boulder, different story. kU is good in Lawrence and sketchier than a soap opera villain on the road. Buffs fans should probably buy the big bag of cheeba for this season and wake up sometime in '09. Good team, just a year or two away.

Texas A&M 17, K-State 7

The stench of used diapers fills out the B12 schedule with this matchup. K-Lame, again, will not win a conference game. This is their best chance, but YOINK! Sherminator pulls it out with Mike Goodson. That naked baby in the corner walking out with the hobo knapsack represents Ron Prince's job status.

Texas Tech 1,729, Nebraska 10
This one will be uglier than your prom date. Period. Graham Harrell could have a handful of TDs and 300 yards...in the first quarter! Oh, how the Cobs have fallen. Should they even show executions on live television?

Baylor 32, Iowa State 24

Typically titled "The Big 12 Sh*tter," both of these teams have suddenly become relevant. Both are fun to watch, and this one could be like a pair of 12-year-olds boxing: interesting, may put some money down, and has potential. Robert Griffin is the most athletic QB in the B12 and will be scary good. Game is in Wacko, so I'll roll with the Bears.
