Volume 124 Issue 43 kansan.com Monday, October 24, 2011 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2011 FOOTBALL PAGE 19 Week seven picks favor OSU and Baylor in Big 12 Kansan staffers project which teams will come out on top this weekend 45-34, Oklahoma State Missouri was finally able to put it together in its 52-17 win over Iowa State. Unfortunately for the Tigers, No. 4 Oklahoma State will not allow them to do the same. Senior quarterback for the Cowboys Brandon Weeden and junior receiver Justin Blackmon will simply be too much for Missouri to handle. 41-31, Oklahoma State Playing in Columbia will help Missouri in this one, but the talent advantage clearly ties with Omaha state him. Gina Finkel hasn't been known to pull too many rabbits out of the hat, either, and quarterback James Franklin is still a freshman. Cowboys by 10, 41-31. 45-24, Oklahoma State The Missouri defense is not tough enough to keep the Cowboys' high-flying offense in check. Expect Brandon Weeden and company to rebound from a lackluster performance against Texas by putting up big numbers. 48-21, Oklahoma State Saturday, Oct. 22 2:30 p.m. CT Oklahoma State escaped with a tough road victory last week in Austin, and I don't expect the Cowboys' winning ways to change in Columbia either. The duo of quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Justin Blackman will be too much to handle for the Trees. 34-17, LSU The nation's number one team won't have an issue winning at home against a two-loss Auburn team. The Tigers' defense has held their last three opponents to 11 points of less. 38-17, LSU Is Cam Newton playing in this one? That would be the only chance Auburn has of derailing LSU's national title hopes tomorrow. The nation's 76th best passing attack played in Death Valley spells trouble for Auburn fans, and I expect a rout. 28-17. LSU 28-17. LSU Despite the fact that LSU will be playing without three players, their defense will still be able to stop the Auburn offense led by quarterback Clint Moeley making his first start. Baton Rouge is a daunting place to try and play. Moesley won't have very much success against the Tigers some Saturday. LSU's dominant defense has been the driving force of coach Les Miles' unbeaten Tigers, but that defense will be without its best playmaker in cornerback Tyrin Matthei. The sophomore standout is serving a suspension, but even without Matthieu on field. LSU should be able to find a way to win in Death Valley. Auburn coach Gene Chihk has done a fine job this season, but LSU is just too talented. 45-24, Stanford 42-20, Baylor 35-24. Stanford 38-10. Stanford The Cardinals offense has been a force all season and the Huskies defense will be no match for it. Washington gave up 51 points to Nebraska in a loss earlier this year and performances like that won't cut it against Stanford. Any time you have NFL fans wanting to lose on purpose just for the chance to draft you, it must be a good thing. That's where quarterback Andrew Luck finds himself in his senior season at Stanford. The Candiants are undefeated largely due to their top five passing attack and top five defense. Washington doesn't stand much of a chance. will lead Stanford to victory. Washington has only faced one ranked opponent this season, losing at then 11th ranked Nebraska. The Huskies are the first ranked opponent on Stanford's state. Washington will keep it close at first, but in the end, Heisman candidate Andrew Luck Michigan State has the fourth best defense in the country, but it won't matter against senior quarterback Russell Wilson and the Badgers. Wisconsin will run all over the Spartans and take home the victory. 31-24, Wisconsin 31-28, Michigan State With all due respect to Nebraska, Wisconsin hasn't seen a defense like Michigan State's this season. The Badgers have won all six of their games by 31 points or more, but tomorrow's trip to East Lansing will be their first road test. Michigan State pulls off the upset. 42-24, Wisconsin The consensus Heisman Trophy front-runner will be on full display primetime as Andrew Luck and the undefeated Cardinal take on a surprising Huskers squad. A Stanford loss would completely open up the Pac-12 title race, but I think Luck will lead Stanford to victory in the friendly confined of Palo Alto. The Badgers lost their only Big Ten game at Michigan State last season. This year's Wisconsin squail is even better this go-around. Transfer quarterback Russell Wilson may not catch a touchdown pass like he did last week, but he and the nation's leading scoring offense will keep their foot on the pedal all the way to the end. 35-14, Michigan State Ever since quarterback Russell Wilson's arrival to Madison, the badgers have played at an entirely new level. However, the Badgers are 6-0 without playing a road game yet this season. I like quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Spartans to give Wisconsin a wakeup call under the lights in East Lansing. Michigan State shuts down the nation's roaring offense and wilt off the upset.

Funded through a student fee of less than $11 per person, the office does not charge additional fees for its services, which are provided by attorneys and law students under attorney supervision. The office assists many students in setting disputes with their landlords. "A lot of people don't know what landlords are required to provide," Hardesty said. The office sees cases in which students are living with perpetual health and safety code violations, such as electrical problems and malfunctioning fire extinguishers, that go unattended by landlords. The office helps students report any violations to the city and represents them in court if needed.
