We were unfortunate last night not to witness the Nebraska and Missouri game.   Though the radio was on, we couldn’t get a good grasp of just how muddy and mucky it was to play.  2-0 at halftime is a wacky score.  But we didn’t expect Missouri to choke away the game and 27 points in the fourth quarter.  What did we find out?  Nebraska has the fast track to the Big 12 North title.  Missouri is much like their new quarterback Blaine Gabbert:  young, inexperienced, talented, but not yet ready.  The Tigers did reload this year, but the bullet jammed up a bit last night.  Let’s jam on to this week’s Pick It and Stick It:

Will Texas beat Colorado by 33?  It’s hard for conference opponents to have a spread that big.  We would be okay with it if Colorado didn’t put up a decent fight against West Virginia last week.   Meanwhile Oklahoma has the rightful 25.5 point spread against Baylor.  If Baylor had Robert Griffin that would be closer.  In what might look a little lopsided for the Big 12, the 3rd highest point spread behind the other match ups just happens to be Kansas hosting Iowa State.  The Cyclones will still be let down from last week’s Farmageddon loss.  For the close games, it’s all bible belt with the exception of Oregon going to UCLA.  The SEC and ACC should show up with some great games this weekend.  Big 12, as we pointed out before, not so much.
