The Big 12 North is weaker than it has been, but I think NU's game
at KSU may be for the Big 12 North.

NU should get road wins @OSU and @A&M and home against KU and they
have home games against MU and CU.  Texas will be tough even at home.
They key games for NU may be @ISU (although I don't think ISU will
compete for the North) and @KSU.  I predict 6-2 or 7-1, but the game
@KSU may be the key.

I think it is too early to count KSU out.  They haven't played great
but they are 3-0.  They should go 2-1 against the Big 12 South,
@Baylor, OSU, and Texas.  They should win @KU and play NU and ISU at
home.  If they win @MU or @CU, they will be in the hunt.  I predict
5-3 or 4-4.

Missouri has played well, but they have a number of tough games, OU,
@NU, @TTech, @A&M, @ISU.  To win the North, they likely will have
to win at least 2 of 3 against KU, KState, and CU at home, with KSU
being a key game.  I predict 4-4 or 5-3.

CU has played badly, but I wouldn't be surprised to see them upset
ASU at home today.  Also, their Big12 home schedule isn't too tough,
Baylor, TTech, KU, and ISU, plus KU on the road.  They have only
three tough road games, @Missouri, @OU, and @NU.  I predict 4-4 or
3-5.

ISU has a brutal schedule.  From the South, they play @Texas, @OU,
and TTech.  They have NU at home, but are @CU and @KSU.  I predict
3-5 or 2-6.

KU didn't look good yesterday.  I predict 1-7 or 2-6.
