[Husker] Big 12 unpredictable

[Steve Schmadeke]

Oklahoma State was favored by 10.  Nebraska posted the only road victory in the conference.  All six home teams covered the spread, with only Oklahoma State actually being favored to win at home.

It was shaping up all week to be an interesting day for the Big XII.  Five of the six games were on TV and the one that wasn't (CU at KU) managed to get covered on both the final SportsCenter of the night as well as College Football Final.  I ended up watching all of the others -- though I had to watch both the Nebraska and the Missouri game on ESPN3.com since the ABC/ESPN powers-that-be decided that CU's move to the Pac-12 kicked in this week for the Denver market -- and even the blowouts were worth checking out.  I especially enjoyed Kansas State building a 31-point lead on the Longhorns before Kansas State completed a single pass in the game (midway through the third).  As the sign in the stands said, the Wildcats own Texas just as surely as Texas owns the Huskers.
