Texas Tech @ Oklahoma

I think Tech is a little better than people are giving them credit for. Their win over Texas was not lucky--they controlled the entire game and Texas was lucky to be in the game at all, much less leading towards the end. That Tech pulled out a somewhat miraculous win at the end is more poetic justice than anything, because they were the better team that night.

That said, Oklahoma and Tech are evenly matched statistically. Oklahoma is at home.

Texas Tech 31
Oklahoma 34

is my pick. It's going to be a wire job.

Ehhh...the game wasn't quite as close as I thought it would be.

As I type this, it's 65-14 Oklahoma and Oklahoma has the ball in Texas Tech territory. they are clearly trying to run up the score in an effort to impress the voters (and it's probably working).

Right now Alabama's #1 and Oklahoma is #2 in my book.
