Texas Looks to Upset Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry

The Sooners are favored, but the Longhorns have won four of the last six against OU.

Oklahoma started the college football year as a favorite to play in the BCS Championship Game. Texas entered the 2011 season just looking to be Texas again and rebuild from a 5-7 campaign that led to a shakeup of Mack Brown’s coaching staff.

Considering all that has transpired with the Big 12 over the last season in regards to realignment, it’s nice to turn the attention back to the action on the field. At least for this weekend.

Surprise, surprise: K-State is 4-0

Bill Snyder's Wildcats are once again exceeding expectations

By Mitch Light

When Kansas State was trailing Eastern Kentucky, 7–3, late in the fourth quarter back in Week 1, even the most optimistic Wildcat fan would have had a tough time envisioning that this team would be 4–0 and that the K-State offense would be capable of scoring 28 points and 36 points in back-to-back wins over Miami (Fla.) and Baylor.

Big 12 Expansion Candidates

Who should the Big 12 target for expansion?

By Steven Lassan (@AthlonSteven on Twitter)

With the Pac-12 holding off on expanding to 16 teams, Oklahoma and Texas will stay in the Big 12 – for now. However, the conference is expected to pursue expansion and likely attempt to get back to 12 teams.

Texas A&M is out the door and won’t be returning to the SEC, which leaves the Big 12 at nine teams for the 2012 season. The conference could choose to expand to only 10, but getting to 12 would provide more stability.
