Big 12 South

This weekend we will learn a little bit more of the fate of the teams in the Big 12 South (the number 1 conference in college football). Oklahoma plays Texas Tech in Norman. Stoops has only lost twice at home in 62 games. While one son is desperate for Tech to win, the other is hoping they lose.

Texas (Longhorns) stand to win big if Tech loses to OU.

Tech are in the enviable position of controlling their own destiny. If they win out the next three games they will play in the national championship and Graham Harrell will win the Heisman. A three way tie at the top of the Big 12 south is possible if OU win and of course that becomes a BCS nightmare.

3 teams in the Top 5 of the BCS rankings.

I should also give a shout out to the other unranked team that we follow: Ball State. When was the last time a MAC team was nationally ranked. the only problem is that they will go to a big bowl game and probably lose big. But hey, going unbeaten is no small feat.
