Best bubble game of the weekend

Hmmmm, who to root for....any chance both will lose???

In all seriousness, BlowU is no longer a bubble team IMO and can only play spoiler for aggy. I'm pulling for the land thieves.

You couldn't be more wrong about OU. Victories over West Virginia, Gonzaga, Arkansas and two over Baylor give them five over probable NCAA teams already, and a win over A&M puts them at 7-7 in conference.

It's actually a HUGE game for both teams. If OU loses, they're 6-8 in conference and only then are they on the outside looking in for the NCAAs. They'll have a road Bedlam game at OSU left and a home game at Missouri, so they'll have to fight for 8-8 and will only be safe with a win in the first round of the Big XII. An A&M loss and the Ags 7-7 with a road game at Baylor and a home game against KU. Whoever loses Saturday is going to sweat it out through the Big XII Tourney and probably on Selection Sunday. Whoever wins may still have to sweat it out.

And it's all because of... Nebraska?!?!?!

I won't even watch. We have a big Stillwater showdown ourselves.

Your initial post said OU is no longer on the bubble and can only play spoiler. If you still think that's the case, then there's not much else I can say that can help you other than what I've posted on this thread already.

I'm not sure 9-7 gets a Big XII team in the NCAAs. 8-8 definitely won't.

I think 8-8 could. Our conference is much stronger this year, and having played the Pac 10 early in the year helped immensely in that regard. 9-7 will get most teams in that are on the bubble.
