Big XII - Week 11 Preview
“Ben, since Steve the Monkey went 2-0-1 last week, do you have any reason to believe you might be asked back next season?”
“I’m going to let the powers that be make those decisions.”
“Are you thinking of resigning? You did pick Nebraska to win the Big XII North.”
“That term resignation is not in our vocabulary.”
“Come on, Ben, a buyout is in the works, isn’t it? They can get the monkey a lot cheaper than you.”
“I am not going to get into the rumor game with you guys. Can we just talk about the games?”
Kansas (-6) at Oklahoma State - Kansas’s season has been an anomaly – wins on the road, undefeated, national championship talk. Oklahoma State has something to prove after blowing last week’s game against Texas late. Total points in this game might hit triple digits. Kansas wins, but Oklahoma State keeps it close.
Texas A&M (+19.5) at Missouri - The general consensus after the last couple of weeks is that the Aggie team has quit on the season. Missouri is just getting started. Chase Daniel should repeat as offensive player of the week. Take Missouri to cover.
Texas Tech (+6.5) at Texas - Texas Tech likes to scare Texas. The biggest thing on the line here is positioning for bowl bids. Expect a shootout and Texas needing to make another comeback late to win. Take the Red Raiders to beat the spread.
Likely Winners: Colorado (Iowa State), Kansas, Kansas State (Nebraska), Missouri, Oklahoma (Baylor), Texas
Upset potential: Oklahoma State over Kansas, Texas Tech over Texas
