Cutie with a bootie

What's left of the Big XII conference has two teams in the top 5 and five in the top 25, although I don't know how Texas is even in the top 30.

If they could get along and share, they'd be either the best or second-best conference in the nation every year.

The games:

SMU (5-1, 3-0) vs. Southern Mississippi (5-1, 1-1)
We're at a point that the Mustangs are on the verge of creeping into the top 25. We're also entering the meat of their schedule. Southern Miss' cornerstone win this season was against Virginia and their loss was against Marshall. SMU lost to Texas A&M and beat TCU. Advantage: SMU. But Southern Miss is an extremely versatile and balanced offense that scores a lot. June Jones' hands will be full.

Oklahoma State (6-0, 3-0) vs. Missouri (3-3, 1-2)
Incredibly tricky game for the Pokes on the road. Mizzou can run the ball (236 yards a game) and the Cowboys allow 176 per contest. I don't think Missouri will win or anything, but it might get too close for comfort for Okie State.

Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1) vs. Iowa State (3-3, 0-3)
This dumb season is going to be the ultimate "what if" affair for the Aggies. Those collapses to Arkansas and Oklahoma State are looming large. Since, they've handled Texas Tech and Baylor in consecutive weeks. They're sitting in the top 5 right now if they can quit blowing chunks on the field.

Texas Tech (4-2, 2-1) vs. Oklahoma (6-0, 3-0)
Raiders in Norman? OU puts 80 up on Tech. If they want.

TCU (4-2, 2-0) vs. New Mexico (0-6, 0-2)
Want to know the level of disrespect folks have for non-BCS schools? TCU went from winning the Rose Bowl and have slipped to 4-2 this season. They received one vote between the USA Today and AP polls last week. One. Meanwhile, Texas farts and they sneak into the top 20.

Kansas State (6-0, 3-0) vs. Kansas (2-4, 0-3)
The Jayhawks have lost by a cumulative 135 points. That total will go up significantly this weekend. The only thing to watch for K-State is them looking ahead (Oklahoma next week) while being on the road in a rivalry game.

Louisiana-Monroe (2-4, 1-1) vs. North Texas (2-5, 1-2)
La-Mo is better than you think. Losses to TCU, Iowa and Florida State. Who's scheduling this team's non-conference? Geesh. Mean Green get pounded at home.

SFA (1-5, 0-2) vs. Nicholls State (1-6, 0-3)
Nominee for worst college football game of the week.
