OU vs Utah is a very interesting pairing,  OU by 45?

Consecutive split national championships would be highly ironic.  I'm
also amused that the BCS has effectively legitimized RUTS, at least
for the teams vying to be at the top of the heap.

OU may have to beat the stuffing out of either ISU or CU, the latter would
almost be sufficient compensation for NU not going bowling.  (OK, no it
wouldn't, but it would at least be salve on a self-inflicted wound.)

Dan McCarney was said to be on death watch this season.  Will a trip
to KC fix that for more than one season?  BTW, Iowa fans may have moaned 
when they didn't get Stoops, but Ferenz is looking like a pretty good 
hire there.  

Prediction of the week:  JoePa will hang it up within the next 2 weeks.
