Figured I'd start this out with this tweet...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p>LY Baylor was a 3 TD underdog to Oklahoma and are now favored to win by 2 TD's.

Go Stanford, for no other reason than I like their coach. Seems to be a class act.

And I hope Baylor kicks some sooner ass as bad or worse than the longhorns did. Started not caring too much for ole bobby stoops.

Its crazy what a coach can do to change the perception of your program. What Art Briles has done to the Baylor program is just amazing. Took them to their first bowl game in 2010 since 1994. He beat Texas two years in a row for the first time since 1991-1992. Beat Oklahoma in 2011, first time ever. Then brought in their first ever Heisman. Now look at Baylor.
 
My predictions for Week 11:


#10 Oklahoma at #6 Baylor - High score affair, Baylor wins by 10+
#3 Oregon at #5 Stanford - Oregon craves revenge but will they get it? I see this one going to OT .. and Oregon eeking out the win.
#9 Auburn at Tennessee - Both teams lose.
 
I think Oklahoma beats Baylor. Lot of pressure on Baylor for this game and a lot of hype. I know we all like to joke on big game Bob, but I think he gets this win.

I don't really know what to say about Stanford-Oregon other than I hope its an entertaining game.
 
I just don't see how OU can win this game based on how they've played this year. ND put 21 points on them, Tech got 30, Kansas scored 19. I just don't see OU doing it.

I'm pulling for Stanford, but not sure they will pull it off.
 
When I saw the LSU/Oregon game a few years ago, the LSU fans walked around using their duck calls.

And Stanford fans do....

So it begins! go Baylor. Never watched a game on FOX Sports before but this channel has some strange camera angles! You see all 22 guys which is interesting but on my little TV they look like ants!

Baylor stadium is a dump from what I've been told, sure that has something to do with. I haven't seen a game there, but I've been told by some Big XII fans I'm not missing anything. They are building a new one on the river that will be really nice....but its still Baylor.
 
Targeting penalty and ejection .. Oklahoma's Shepherd still down after a big hit, not helmet to helmet, that stripped the ball. 8 trainers looking at him. 2 penalties on Baylor on the play (targeting and unnecessary roughness).

Shepherd still down after 3 minutes, golf cart coming ..

EDIT: ejection taken back after review. Interesting. It was shoulder to shoulder . And Shepherd is up!
