Okay, Texas A&M didn't get the Big 12 started on the right foot. So how will the Big 12 fare in the rest of the bowl games?

I say in the remaining seven games, I think the Big 12 wins four of them to go 4-4. And yes, I am counting ISU as one of those wins.

I like TX to win the the big daddy and ISU to win in the sand. I'm thinking 6-2 not less than 5-3

I have ISU, Nebraska, Missouri and Texas winning. I could be persuaded to put Texas Tech in the winner's circle, but with all the Leach goings on, I don't know about that one.

Who have you got winning?

I would be impressed with any thing over .500.

My guess is 3-5.

Bama beats Texas
OSU beats Miss
Stanford beats OU
Arizona beats NU
Navy beats Missouri
ISU beats Minn
Tech beats MSU

I got ISU, OU, OSU, MU, and Tech winning, but I bet I'm one over. I'd be surprised if we weren't at least .500.

Texas is the only team that I think is a long shot to win. But I still picked them to win anyways...

If we aren't .500 I will eat my hat. I predicted 7-1 with OK the only losing team. Now I guess I have to go with 6-2.

Start eating your hat! OSU looks like crap. Looks like neither team wants to win this game.

The Big 12 was down all year. Not sure why anyone would expect much from the bowl season. As long as you finish .500 or better you avoid embarrassment. Texas Tech desperately has to win for this conference to save face. If Texas happens to win, it becomes a very good bowl season for the Big 12.

Agreed. Big 12 was simply quite average this year. At least most of us can admit it. When the Big 10 sucks, most of their fans are delusional. Not sure any conference is great, but looks like UF and Alabama are a class above.

I will be pleasantly surprised if UT can pull out the win, but it would certainly be great for the Big 12 to have the National Champion.

Only games that have shocked me is MU getting rolled by Navy. I watched Army-Navy and we handled Army pretty easy. Navy struggled. Thought MU would win for sure. OSU losing is not a huge surprise after the turd they laid in Norman.

The Big 12 is perceived as down because our usual conference champion, OU, was down. BTW, they looked pretty impressive in coming back against a good Stanford team.

sitting at 3-3, but losing twice to the SEC kind of sucks, as they already think the world revolves around SEC football.

I hope TT beats MSU to go 2-0 against the Big 10 at least.

Texas beating Bama would be huge and erase a lot of the crappy games that the Big 12 has put up so far.

I do think Texas has a good shot in that game.

I'm thinking the National Championship will be similar to the Big XII Championship game--very little offense, lots of spectacular defense, and kick-it-to-win-it.

Edit: And I'm calling an Alabama win.
