Big 12: Sooners headed to the title game

Dec 1st, 2008

The Big 12 was bound for controversy. And controversy officially came to the conference — and the nation — mid-afternoon Sunday.

Week 13 National Notebook

Nov 24th, 2008

Oklahoma had one of the most impressive single-game performances this season by crushing Texas Tech while Utah secured a BCS Bowl bid with a victory in the Holy War. Mitch Light takes a look around Week 13 of the college football landscape in his National Notebook.

Big 12: OU destroys Tech, makes its case

Nov 24th, 2008

The Game of the Year in the Big 12? For Oklahoma, yes. A resounding yes. For Texas Tech, uh, well, no. The No-Show of the Year, perhaps. For the Big 12 — a mess, complicated by three one-loss South teams, none a clear-cut candidate for the league championship game.

Week 13: Iowa State at Kansas State

Nov 19th, 2008

The Big 12 holds the nation’s attention with a game carrying major implications. This isn’t it. For these two teams, it’s a chance to limp out of the season with a trace of optimism for next year.

Big 12: Looking ahead better than looking back

Nov 17th, 2008

Much better looking forward than back, where it was a blowout weekend in the Big 12. The closest game was 13 points — the margin in Oklahoma State’s 30-17 win at Colorado. Everybody else, even Baylor, won by at least 20.

[FULL STORY]

Week 12: Missouri at Iowa State

Nov 12th, 2008

Big 12 title talk has returned for the Tigers, although they themselves want nothing to do with the conversation. Iowa State is focusing on finding some fun late in a season that has turned sour with eight straight losses.

[FULL STORY]

Big 12: Tech rolls, sets up another showdown

Nov 10th, 2008

Texas Tech showed no signs of wariness Saturday, humbling Oklahoma State 59-20 in Lubbock while the Big 12 South's other top teams, Oklahoma and Texas, took care of business against Texas A&M and Baylor respectively.

[FULL STORY]

Week 11: Iowa State at Colorado

Nov 5th, 2008

These two teams have combined to lose 12 of their last 13 games. That’s the bad news. And it’s really bad news for two programs hoping to take a step up this season. The good news: somebody wins this weekend.

Week 10 National Notebook

Nov 3rd, 2008

Texas Tech pulled out a thrilling victory over hated rival Texas this week while Florida and Syracuse won big games as well. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in the Week 10 version of his national notebook.

Big 12: Tech drops Horns on last-second TD

Nov 3rd, 2008

The Red Raiders rocked West Texas — and the BCS — stunning top-ranked Texas 39-33 on a game-winning touchdown connection with one second remaining Saturday night, just as it seemed the Longhorns had completed an emotional comeback victory.

[FULL STORY]

Week 10: Iowa State at Oklahoma State

Oct 30th, 2008

As first-timers to the grand stage, OSU represented itself well, battling Texas to the end, on the road. Iowa State should provide an opportunity for the Cowboys to feel better.

[FULL STORY]

Big 12: Offense is the name of the game

Oct 27th, 2008

Once a league known for its power running games, the Big 12 has almost universally embraced the spread. And it was another super-charged Saturday across the conference.

[FULL STORY]

Under The Radar: Week 9

Oct 24th, 2008

The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.

[FULL STORY]

Week 9: Texas A&M at Iowa State

Oct 23rd, 2008

Consider this the Basement Bowl. Both teams are buried at the bottom of their divisions, with little optimism for digging out. At least this matchup allows one team to avoid the tag as “Big 12’s Worst.”

[FULL STORY]

Big 12: The South still rules

Oct 20th, 2008

An old story line brews fresh in the Big 12. The South rules. That point was driven home Saturday, when the North’s top teams — Missouri and Kansas — were battered by the league’s traditional big boys, Texas and Oklahoma.

[FULL STORY]

Under The Radar: Week 8

Oct 17th, 2008

The Big 12 continues to be the conference to watch on Saturday's with marquee match-ups in Austin, Texas and Norman, Okla. However, there are a few other games to watch this weekend that aren't necessarily getting the national hype.

[FULL STORY]

Week 8: Nebraska at Iowa State

Oct 16th, 2008

Both teams are looking for their first Big 12 win in this matchup of North Division opponents who are still in their respective rebuilding phases.
