Without Martinez clearly we are a different team. Since Mike Gundy has “sources” in Manhattan, KS I figured you all knew as good as anybody if Martinez will play this weekend. Clearly our homeboy Gundy thinks so. I put the over under @ 5 since he made it 4 snaps against TCU. Curious to see what the consensus is.

Why the game against OSU likely determines who plays in Arlington

I placed the league into three tiers.
Top--TCU, OSU, KSU, Texas
Middle--Baylor, OU, Tech
Lower--KU, ISU, WV
Assuming that there is a 1/3 chance of beating a team one category above. Less than 20% for beating a team 2 categories above. Here is how the standings for the top tier teams will likely end up.

TCU--Remaining games--Texas, Baylor, Tech, ISU, WV Should have a 7-2 or 8-1 record and tie breakers with OSU and KSU. Almost a lock for Arlington.
OSU--Remaining games--KSU, OU, KU, ISU, WV. Easiest remaining schedule. Should have a 7-2 or 6-3 record. (6.57)
KSU--Remaining games--OSU, Texas, Baylor, KU, Wv Should also be looking at a 7-2 or 6-3 record (6.27)
Texas--Remaining games--TCU, KSU, Baylor, KU Should a 6-3 or 5-4 record (5.47)

If OSU wins this weekend the Championship Game is likely set.

If KSU wins this weekend, KSU becomes the favorite and should have a 7-2 or 6-3 record (6.77). Meanwhile, OSU also looking at a 7-2 or 6-3 record (6.07). What is key here is that KSU has the tie breaker over OSU.

Texas MUST have KSU beat OSU to maintain their chance of making Arlington.

Big 12 prediction this week

OU at ISU---OU currently 1 point favorite with over/under at 56. Question in this game centers on whether OUs defense is worse than ISU offense. Both bad. Think this game being in Ames swings this game in ISU favor. ISU wins 30-23. Bet ISU +1 and stay away from the over/under.

TCU @ WV--TCU only a 7.5 favorite and over/under at 69. Does Vegas know something we don't? Think TCU wins easily and probably both teams score a number of points. TCU wins 45-30. Take TCU-7.5 and the OVER. Would consider a parlay TCU and OVER.

OSU @ KSU--KSU currently a 1.5 point favorite and over/under at 56. Guess Vegas more confident about Martinez than I am. Both teams with injuries. This game will be close. I think OSU should be favored by about a fg though. Predict OSU 31 KSU 28 Hope I'm wrong. I would not bet this game.

Baylor @ TT--TT a 2.5 point favorite and over/under at 63.5. I think Tech the better team and is playing at home. Don't see Baylor defense holding Tech under 35. Tech wins 38-30. Bet Tech -2.5 but stay away from the over/under.

Mel Kiper's take on Felix

Which prospect are you moving up your board?​

i

Kiper: Felix Anudike-Uzomah, DE, Kansas State. He was incredible in Saturday's win over Texas Tech, with three sacks and a forced fumble. He beats offensive tackles with speed and with power, and he plays hard on every snap. Anudike-Uzomah had 11 sacks last season, and he's up to 5.5 so far in 2022. He's a true junior, which means he could return to K-State next year, but the 6-foot-4, 255-pound edge rusher just keeps getting better. I have a Day 2 grade on Anudike-Uzomah now, but he's rising.
