Kansas – Missouri battle for 2nd slot
In August, no one was writing about the two Big 12 teams that would be battling it out for a slot in the National Championship Game. If anyone had, they certainly would not have been writing about two teams out of the Big-12 North and Kansas would not have been either of them. But here [...]

Longhorns, Bears and Tigers Out of Title Consideration

Game of the Week
The Game of the Week stays in the Big East and on Thursday night as the Louisville Cardinals face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in Piscataway , NJ. The Big East Title would all but be wrapped up with a win by the Cardinals and put them in position to claim a right to play for [...]
