Light weekend for Big 12: three rivalry games

Kellis: With only three Big 12 Conference games this weekend, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of our picks.
Travis: At least most of them are rivalry match-ups.
Kellis: In the biggest conference game of the weekend, Oklahoma will play Texas Tech for the right to go to the Cotton Bowl. The loser will likely be in the Alamo Bowl.
Travis: Oklahoma has played well lately and Texas Tech shocked everyone by losing to Oklahoma State last week. The Red Raiders, though, are at home and they'll get back to their winning wavs.
Kellis: I agree. No one can keep that Texas Tech offense down for long.
sideline will give K-State the victory.
Travis: Missouri looks like a good pick over Kansas State in the next game. The Tigers are the better team, but the emotional effect of Bill Snyder coaching his last game on the Wildcat
Kellis: This is turning into the hardest ticket to get at Kansas State in the last decade. Everyone wants to see Snyder go out in style. The Wildcats will play inspired ball for their coach and there is no way the Tigers will even stay close in this one.
Travis: I'm taking Baylor to defeat Oklahoma State down in Waco, Texas. The Bears have played much better football this year and all their close losses will finally translate into a victory. I'm picking Baylor because they deserve to win for their fantastic effort all year long.
Kellis: The Bears have nothing to play for, though. The Cowboys are coming off a huge upset against the Red Raiders and if they win their last two games they go to a bowl. I'll go with the team playing for more than pride.
Kellis: Two middle-of-the-pack teams collide when Boston College plays Maryland. Both teams have some good

victories, but the Eagles have proved a little more to me. So I'm taking Boston College to win on the road.
Travis: Maryland won last week at North Carolina, which is a great home team. The Terrapins have momentum and will win a close game.
Travis: Ohio State has a stronger defense and even its offense has been putting up points lately. Michigan is also overrated. Senior linebacker A.J. Hawk will lead Ohio State to victory.
Kellis: One of the oldest rivalries around is between Ohio State and Michigan. The Buckeyes are clearly the better team, but the Wolverines are at home and they gave the Penn State Nittany Lions their only loss of the season earlier this year. So, I'll go with Big Blue.
Kellis: He does have the best name in college sports.
Travis: I agree. Up next is Alabama at Auburn. This is one heck of a grudge match. Both teams are highly ranked, but Auburn is at home and coming off a big victory at Georgia. That momentum will carry the Tigers to victory. I don't think Alabama's offense will produce enough points.
Kellis: That loss to LSU last week might suck all the fight out of Alabama. The Crimson Tide have a stellar defense, but Auburn looked too good in the fourth quarter against Georgia. I too am taking the Tigers.
Travis; We both took USC and California — and no one cares about Purdue vs. Indiana — so let's move to

Clemson at South Carolina.
Kellis: Clemson crushed Florida State last week and though Steve Spurrier is doing a tremendous job this year, he can't keep this up. Look for the Tigers to pull the upset.
Travis: South Carolina has the home field and is on a roll right now. Spurrier's team still has an outside shot of winning the SEC and going to a BCS bowl game. With so much on the line, the Gamecocks will win.
