We handled FSU pretty easily this season, and it looks like Florida is just playing out the string this season. We have to play a Nebraska team that was in the national championship hunt until the Texas game. It's an interesting game. One of the reasons I hated the Big 8 becoming the Big 12 is that we lost our annual rivalry game with Nebraska. That had accounted for some memorable games. Now, this is Nebraska's last game in the Big 12 - the last game for anyone in the Big 12 as we know it. We have an extra motivation to keep Neb from taking the trophy to the Big 10.
As long as I am rambling about football (which is much better than rambling on about Oklahoma politics), the Big 12 had 4 teams with 10-2 records. No team has fewer than 2 losses in the conference. Some pretty good teams knocked off some pretty good teams. I'm 99% sure that neither TCU nor Boise State could make it through a Big 12 schedule (or SEC or Big 10 for that matter) without taking a hit or two in the course of the season. We'll see how TCU fares in a BCS bowl this year.
