Week seven picks favor OSU and Baylor in Big 12
Kansan staffers project which teams will come out on top this weekend
31-17, Oklahoma State
Coming off a 70-28 victory over the lajwahs last week, I think Brandon Wende and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will be too much for Texas to handle. Look for the Longhorns to come out find up, though, as they try to put last week's 55-17 loss to Oklahoma behind them.
38-24, Oklahoma State
63-24. Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State is ranked first in overall offense for a masse. The Brandon Weedon and Justin Blackmon duo will be tough to defend.
Oklahoma State's offense is better than Oklahoma's, and they'll try to prove it by hanging more points on the Longhorns to their rival did, however their defense is not as good, which explains why Texas will also score more points.
Fresh off a crushing loss to the Spooners in the Red River Rivalry, the Longhams will come out strong. Oklahoma State has an incredible offense but Texas' home field advantage is going to throw the balance off—even though it's not going to
24-17, Michigan State
this will definitely be the game to watch. Look for both teams to battle it out until the very end. If Michigan State's defense can create turnovers off Michigan quarterback肯德Robinson, I expect the Spartans to come on top.
17-14, Michigan State
31-24, Michigan
Both teams have good defenses and scoring will be low. The Spartans will have a hard time keeping Denard Robinson to minimal yards.
Denard Robinson will be the major deciding factor between these two teams. He has completed only 57 percent of his passes, but it will be his feet and their 7.1 yards per carry average that lift the Wolverines over the Spartans for the first time since 2007.
28-24, Michigan State
I'm a Michigan State girl, but even with my bias aside, the Spartans are much stronger than the Wolvenines this year. Both defenses are strong, so it won't be a high-scoring game. But the Spartans are more of a total package, which will be enough to get a victory.
Toss A&M will definitely have its hands full with Hesman statement Robert Gillian III I expect Boylar's offense to overpower the A&M defense.
38-35, Texas A&M
Baylor has the upper hand on offense and should be able to run its usual game plan. Defense for both teams is about equal, but Baylor will come out on top.
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III will have a great day against the Aggies' defense, but it will be Bayer's own defense that fails them on the road. Baylor has yet to win a game outside Waco. Texas; expect that trend to continue as the 12th man breaks out the Beans in the second half
17-13, Oregon
The Aggie's defense is less than stellar this year, which will give the Bears a historically rare advantage in this game — Baylor has only toped ASM twice in the past 20 meetings of the schools. Watch for a strong offense with lots of passing from the Bears.
With LaMichael James now out for this week's matchup, Oregon will have to change its plan of attack. Arizona State may be putting up a lot of points, but its defense will not be able to let up playing against Oregon's heavy home-field advantage.
31-17, Oregon
Even with LaMichael James out, the running game will be a major problem for the Sun Devils defense. The Ducks will come out on top and the home field advantage will help.
42-24, Oregon
The Ducks will be too fast for the Sun Devis to handle, and have put more than 40 points on the board in four consecutive weeks. Expect that trend to continue as the Ducks run all over Arizona State.
35-21, Oregon
Arizona State's defense is not enough to stop Oregon's offense, even with one of the Duck's star running backs out of commission. Although Arizona State will put up a good fight, the team just can't match Oregon's all-around talent and speed.

The "Russian Jayhawk," as the small carving has come to be known, was a gift of gratitude from an unknown Russian prisoner of war to Conrad Hoffman, a Kansas alumnus working with the YMCA in Germany during World War I.
On Wednesday evening, he made another journey, this time to the offices of the department of Slavic languages and literatures in Wescoe Hall, where we'll live for one year in a glass display case.

It's a symbol of the long-standing connection between the University and its students doing good in Russian and Eastern Europe, said Marc Greenberg, chairman of the Slavic department.

In 1913, Conrad Hoffman became the secretary of the YMCA at the University, leaving his position as a professor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin.
The YMCA post was "an important non-governmental service performing a moral and social function during the First World War," Greenberg wrote in his article "Hoffman's Hawk."
According to the article, the YMCA worked in prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, providing education and coordinating social and athletic activities for the prisoners. The YMCA also helped prisoners develop trades and hobbies by giving them tools and arranging exhibitions and sales of their artwork.
Hoffman went to Germany in 1915, and it was common for him to receive presents, said the article, from the thankful prisoners who he worked with.
According to a pencil inscription on his side, the Russian Jayhawk was given to Hoffman in 1917. He was probably carved by either
