Texas-Texas Tech game year's best match-up
Kellis: Before the 2005 college football season, most people circled the Texas vs. Oklahoma game as the one that would decide the Big 12 South. But it looks like Saturday's game between Texas Tech and Texas is the Big 12 game of the year.
Travis: Yep. Both teams take undefeated records, top-10 rankings and high-scoring offenses into the game that will all but decide the Big 12 South champion.
Kellis: I took Texas. I see you did as well, along with the rest of the sports staff. Why isn't anyone giving Texas Tech a chance?
Travis: Texas is clearly the better team, has the home-field advantage and the best player in the country — junior quarterback Vince Young. This game could be close if it was in Lubbock, Texas, but it will be tough for Texas Tech to get any momentum without crowd support.
Kellis: I think the Red Raiders will give the Longhorns a game. Two years ago, when they hooked up in Austin, Texas needed a last-second drive to win the game. Do you know who led that drive?
Travis: It was Chance Mock, and yes, I realize Texas benched Young in favor of him. But Young was just a freshman and not a Heisman Trophy candidate. During the last two years, he's led numerous fourth-quarter

comebacks. And besides, this game won't be close.
Kellis; It will go down to the wire. Texas Tech quarterback Cody Hodges threw for more than 600 yards last week against Kansas State. It would take this year's Kansas quarterbacks almost a year to throw for that many yards.
Kellis: No argument here. But I do think Colorado blows the game open in the second half and wins by more than 20 points.
Travis: True, this week will be more of the same from the Jayhawks. Their defense will keep it close until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, but their offense will once again lose the game.
Travis: You're not giving our defense enough credit. Let's talk about a game with a questionable outcome, like Nebraska at Missouri.
Kellis: Missouri has clawed its way back into contention for the Big 12 North title, but the Tigers have no defense. The Cormuskers will pull one out in Columbia, Mo.
overtime. Both teams seem improved from last season, especially Nebraska. History indicates Nebraska will win by name alone.
Kellis: Well, Baylor and Oklahoma are about as far apart historically as teams can be, but I'm taking Baylor.
Travis: This is the first time since the Big 12 formed that Baylor has a chance to beat Oklahoma. The Sooners are playing at home, though, and their fans would never forgive them if they lost to the Bears.
Travis: This game looks to go into
Kellis: Not so fast. Baylor went into Kyle Field and all but defeated Texas A&M. Then Baylor went into Iowa State and won. The Bears will continue their one-game road winning streak.
Travis: Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops won't let his team lose this game.
Kellis: Well, who do you like in the battle of Aggies? I'm taking the Texas A&M Aggies leave Manhattan with a victory over the Kansas State Wildcats.
Travis: Texas A&M has an offense. Kansas State doesn't. Plus, I just don't like the Wildcats after my trip to Manhattan two weeks ago.
