Though both NU and KSt have 2 conference losses today, NU has played one less conference game than KSt. So if NU loses to OU but beats @KU, KSt, and @CU, they will have the same number of conference losses but NU will own the head to head over KSt. It's a tall order for NU, but the head to head vs. KSt looms larger than the OU game.

You see that Texas has played its 3 toughest opponents on the schedule, with #4 being at TAMU (slightly ahead of @Mizzou). OU has lost to #1 and #3, and still has #2 (@NU) and #4 (@TT). TAMU has its two most difficult games coming up, and beat #3 soundly, but was crushed by #4 and #%, so who knows what to make of them? Poor Baylor was only expected to beat Kent State and NW State (I recognize they were rated higher earlier in the season).

I think they are better than that. KSU wins the north or is given it by default b/c Neb is that bad, but im not over looking the Aggies like I should.

Pelini's cupboard is just bare on offense, with a freshman quarterback leading some guys from the drive-thru at the Lincoln Wendy's. The good news, though, is that Suh and Crick may show us how deep OU is at quarterback. OU wins by 30.
