MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It’s championship weekend—sort of—in the Big 12, which doesn’t actually have a true championship game but does have two matchups that will determine the league winner.
As you’ll note below, the MetroNews crew foresees Cowboy Bedlam in Stillwater, where an OSU win would only be the second-biggest news of the week. The real happening was ex-billionaire T. Boone Pickens announcing his engagement to Toni Brinker, whose ex-husband invented the salad bar!!! Like my dear nana always said, “If that ain’t mixing oil and croutons, I don’t know what is!”
On with this week’s picks, all the while hoping BYU and Northern Illinois join the Big 12 so the conference’s name will make sense again and allow it to get back into the title-game business:
