Baylor and Iowa State face tough tests
Baylor vs. Southern Methodist A rebuilding year for the Bears begins against a team that's been rebuilding since 1987. Baylor is still in better shape. Prediction: Baylor wins, 28-17
Iowa State vs. Tulsa Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads expects his team to walk away with a win, but you never know which Cyclones team will show up on the field. Prediction: ISU wins, 21-17
Kansas State vs. Missouri State Missouri State has won only six games in the past two seasons. Bill Snyder's Wildcats had no problems defeating Missouri State two seasons ago, and they look to do the same thing this weekend.
Prediction: KSU wins, 45-20
Oklahoma State vs. Savannah State Savannah State has won one game in each of the last two seasons. Oklahoma State's new-look offense will get off to a nice start. Prediction: OSU wins, 38-3
15 Texas vs. Wyoming In the battle of the Cowboys, Wyoming has little chance to shock the Longhorns even as coach Mack Brown experiments with his offense Prediction:Texas wins,35-10
4 Oklahoma vs. UTEP
A perennial national championship contender meets a team still trying to win its first bowl game since 1988. Coach Bob Stoops will give Texans another reason to hate the Sooner State.
Prediction: Oklahoma wins, 48-14
Texas Tech vs. Northwestern State Seth Doege's passing game against a FCS team that gave up 390 yards per game last season. Raiders open up with a blowout win. Prediction: Texas Tech wins, 45-13
West Virginia vs. Marshall West Virginia has come out on top against Marshall for the past six years, blowing them out in five of those meetings. Geno Smith will have little problem moving the ball for the Mountaineers. Prediction: WVU wins, 41-10
