Ken Miller’s Picks
Iowa State @ Missouri – Bowl hopes are on pins and needles, Clones finish 6-6 and the waiting begins.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech – TT will revenge last yrs beat down, Red Raiders open up a can.
Kansas State @ Nebraska – And the right to get throttled by Texas, goes to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Baylor @ Texas A&M – Aggies are a different team at home, TAM.
Kansas @ Texas – Longhorns are in a class by themselves, Texas wallops the Mangino’s.
Cal @ Stanford – How about the job Harbaugh has done, Pac 10 COY. Stanford
Penn State @ Michigan State – Lets take Penn State.
Eric Murphy’s Picks
Iowa State @ Missouri – Wally dials up another strong defensive performance. ISU takes the telephone trophy and clinches a trip the postseason.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech- Sooners defense will stand up to the challenge.
Kansas State @ Nebraska- K-State’s bowl hopes will be done in by the Black Shirts
Baylor @ Texas A&M- I’ll go away from the defensive theme and say A&M puts up a ton of points on the Bears.
Kansas @ Texas- Will the troops rally around Mangino? My guess is they throw in the towel and Texas gets another step closer to the National Title Game.
Cal @ Stanford- The hottest team in the nation rolls. Harbaugh to Michigan rumors pick up steam.
Penn State @ Michigan State- PSU is not elite but the Lions are good enough to keep their BCS hopes alive.
Adam Carper’s Picks
Iowa State @ Missouri – I’m hoping I’m wrong but I think the Tigers win late.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech – Even with 4 losses, the Sooners are still the better team.
Kansas State @ Nebraska – Nebraska clinches the North and sends K-State home for the holidays.
Baylor @ Texas A&M – I think I’d rather watch Iowa’s basketball team than this sleeper…on second thought, I can’t wait to see A&M’s explosive offense! A&M.
Kansas @ Texas – Mangino can poke at his players’ chest as much as he wants this week, but he still won’t come away with a W.
Cal @ Stanford – Harbaugh continues to keep his team in contention for the Rose Bowl.
Penn State @ Michigan State – Penn State big on the road.
Steve Deace’s Picks
Iowa State 24, Missouri 23 – Cyclones will play loose and with confidence after getting that crucial sixth win.
Texas Tech 27, Oklahoma 24 – Sooners are banged up on defense, and Red Raiders are out to avenge last season’s woodshed beating.
Nebraska 24, Kansas State 10 – Give Huskers credit for rebounding to win the Big 12 North.
Texas A&M 34, Baylor 24 – Aggies need this for bowl-eligibility.
Texas 49, Kansas 17 – U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi ugly.
Stanford 31, California 24 – Remember when Jim Harbaugh really wanted the ISU job?
Michigan State 23, Penn State 21 – These are the types of games that Sparty wins.
Chris Williams’ Picks
Iowa State @ Missouri – Bad match-up for the Clones. Missouri 30, Iowa State 14.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech – Give me Mike Leach in this one. Oklahoma’s offense won’t be able to keep up. Tech 34, Oklahoma 24.
Kansas State @ Nebraska – Nebraska wins the North. Kansas State stays in Manhattan over the holidays. That’s depressing. Huskers 17, KSU 9.
Baylor @ Texas A&M – The Aggies shouldn’t have any problems. Next week they’ll play BCS spoiler against the Horns. You read it here first. A&M 42, Baylor 28.
Kansas @ Texas – It’s funny that many predicted this to be a Big 12 title game preview at the beginning of the season. Horn 45, KU 20.
Cal @ Stanford – A lot of hype surrounds Stanford right now. Give me Cal in this one, 27-20.
Penn State @ Michigan State – I’ll take the Spartans, 27-20.
Bret Meyer’s Picks
Iowa State @ Missouri -Clones control the LOS and keep Mizzous offense off the field ARob has another big day and the Clones get win #7. 20-17.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech-Oklahoma has trouble scoring in Lubbock. Texas Tech wins at home.
Kansas State @ Nebraska- Nebraska books a trip to Dallas with a win at home.
Baylor @ Texas A&M-Texas A&M wins big at home.
Kansas @ Texas-Not the best place to snap a five game losing streak. Texas rolls.
Cal @ Stanford-How can u pick against Jim Harbaugh and the Cardinal. Plus Tiger Woods is an horary captain. Stanford wins at home.
Penn State @ Michigan State-Penn State hasn’t beat a team with a winning record all year. Trend continues. Sparty wins at home.
