I originally composed this at a Gibbs PTA event, which means I did not have access to The Converter. At least I had time on my hands to focus on important things, like how can I could the record for number of consecutive 2-3 weeks! Thanks, A&M; I know it is not all on you but I single you out anyway.

Texas - Baylor

Mack Brown, how do you consistently underperform of late, and yet survive? Do you have dirt on certain members of the ut board of trustees? Is all forgiven so long as you beat A&M in uniquely devastating fashion? But the black arts are more powerful just up the road this year (just ask TCU); BAYLOR for the win.

Georgia - LSU
***
Things in the SEC West are pretty good these days. Three members end the season ranked in the top ten. Two will play for the national championship. And one team won a lifetime Unfathomable Tears of Sadness award. And State is about to have a twin sibling in everything from uni color to conference performance. No, Georgia, just be happy your coach pulled together an Outback Bowl (or comparable) season, SEC West division champ continues to roll. LSU for the win. And you can keep your UGA XIV-dropping-sized pile of bonus points.
***
Oklahoma - Oklahoma State
***
Oklahoma State can reach the promised land with one more win in a game against an in-state rival who is having an off-year. And if that in-state rival was named Tulsa, T. Boone Pickens would rejoice. But instead OSU's playing OU, and when it comes to the Sooners, OSU's historical performance says it all - fewer than 20 victories over a century's worth of games. Be glad you lost to Iowa State; you are already a rung down from the pinnacle of crushing defeat. OKLAHOMA for the win.
***
Wisconsin - Michigan State
***
Badgers, what happened? Back to back Hail Mary losses? Well, the Ohio State loss was not really a "toss up", you left the receiver wide open in the endzone. Gimme those bonus points because MICHIGAN STATE has this one. Get all this bad juju out of your system in 2011, UW; maybe there's a Sun Bowl in your immediate future.
***
Virginia Tech - Clemson
***
Clemson, really? You "dominate" USC from your cushy perch in the ACC? Too bad we could not have added you to the SEC East; Tennessee, Florida and Georgia would love to add you to their annual schedules. VIRGINIA TECH, those crazy Hokie bastards, win this one.
