Saturday's prediction.
#26: Kansas will lose at least 4 Big 12 games and will finish behind Nebraska and at least one other team (Colorado or Missouri or both). I do believe they are the 2nd best (maybe even the best) team in the North, but that Big 12 South schedule is BRUTAL. OU, at Texas, at Texas Tech on Halloween. In addition, they have two rivals to play in the North (at K-State and Missouri at a neutral site) and have to travel to Colorado. They do get Nebraska at home but that won't exactly be a cake walk either. The Iowa State game is the only Big 12 game I feel certain I can call a W right now. I do believe we will see a better record from them in the 2010 season though: exchange Baylor, A&M, and OK State for Texas, OU, and Tech. Rock chalk!
Sunday's prediction.
#25: The winner of the TCU at BYU game will win the Mountain West Conference. A lot of people have called it a 3-horse race. I've said many times this will be a rebuilding year for Utah and they have not been consistent enough over Whit's tenure to state that they can compete for a conference title in a rebuilding year (or years...). Either TCU or BYU will win the conference. Utah might have a say if it is an outright championship or not, but they won't compete for it.
Today's prediction.
#24: BYU will score at least 24 points against Oklahoma. They will also hold OU to under 45 points, a feat which only 3 teams did last season (TCU, Texas, and Florida-all teams finished in the top 10: not predicting a top 10 finish for BYU, just stating how difficult of a task they will complete). I am not predicting a win or a loss for BYU either, I am merely stating that BYU will score in at least the upper 20's and OU will score less than in the upper 40's.
I think/HOPE KU will only have 3 losses at most! ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU! I think Tech is one we can win on the road and I know we can compete with any of the Big 12 North.
