Well, KSU has one of the worst run defenses in the country, and it will go down even
further in the rankings after that mauling.  And that TD pass was underthrown, a good
defense would have picked it off.   There were a few open KSU receivers, but the passes
weren't on target.  All of that would have made the score more like 48-24, I suppose.

Next week's Texas game may give a better reading on T-Magic, but right now the Big XII
is on a steady course for a Nebraska-Oklahoma finale, which seems fitting.  

The folks on the ESPN blog were looking forward to next year's Nebraska-Michigan
game, with two great running QBs.

No, we could be talking about basketball or professional hockey.  :-)

Or maybe the Lingerie Football League?
