Meaningless pick six cashes over bets in TCU-Oklahoma State

Win those, and Oklahoma State (9-0, 6-0 Big 12, No. 14 CFP) will be the undisputed Big 12 champion with a strong argument for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Not after Leonard Fournette disappeared against Alabama. At the same time, since Alabama and Clemson picked up quality wins over better opponents, I keep OSU where they are.

K-State’s first touchdown drive took 17 plays and 9 minutes, 17 seconds. Teams aren’t on the field for just 12 drives a game in the Big 12. As for the quarterback position, that issue reignites this week with J.T. Barrett coming off a one-game suspension.

Even after Saturday’s debacle, TCU still holds a few faint hope of at least sneaking back into the playoff conversation, should mass chaos ensue everywhere from Clemson and Columbus to Stanford and South Bend. An illustration of OSU’s disruptive talents comes in the fact that the Cowboys lead the Big 12 in turnovers forced, sacks, tackles for loss, blocked punts and defensive touchdowns. Tune in November 21 when the teams play in Stillwater.

Florida was unimpressive against Vanderbilt, and that was factored into the decision to drop the Gators (along with Notre Dame s improved resume). Both can’t win out. No matter how cranky Dabo Swinney might get, his Tigers aren’t going to completely gain a measure of respect unless they knock off the King of the ACC and this is their chance.

I was stunned on Saturday night. The players are protesting what they see as a lack of appropriate response from Wolfe regarding racial tensions on campus. His previous high was 147 yards against Maryland and Oklahoma State earlier this season. Five teams with a ideal record prior to Week 10 – Toledo, Michigan State, TCU, LSU and Memphis – lost on Saturday. TCU has two defensive touchdowns this season.

Perhaps we need to start redefining the term “Clemsoning”. MSU’s best pass defense right now seems to be: Just grab the receiver’s arm.

Shaun Nixon had career highs of nine catches and 146 yards, and KaVontae Turpin added seven catches for 107 yards for the Horned Frogs.

Coach Mike Gundy’s team is only getting better by the week, rallying around one another after the October 24 tragedy. Making matters worse, Josh Doctson, the nation’s leader in yards receiving, left the game with a left wrist injury and didn’t return.

November has come back, and it has come to wreck your daydreams. Holgorsen’s Mountaineers aren’t so good offensively this season.

There are already 10 openings, with the dominoes just beginning to fall… Much of the early focus on a replacement has been on Arizona’s Rich Rodriguez. Hello, Houston’s Tom Herman? TCU (8-1. 5-1) gets to bounce back against Kansas next Saturday in Fort Worth.

After stopping TCU on fourth down in the red zone, Oklahoma State struck quickly. For TCU (8-1, 5-1), a BCS game is still out there, but a national title probably isn’t. Who does that? Only Coleman. Rudolph, perhaps most importantly, played a turnover-free game at the most opportune time. He really can do it all.

DeBrandon Sanders ran for 82 yards and Navy’s triple-option rushing attack had 374 yards against a Memphis defense that had only allowed 118.8 yards a game.

Quarterback Trevone Boykin has completed 66.7% of his passes for 2,927 yards with 28 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

-Brandon Allen, Arkansas, threw for 442 yards, ran for a 2-point conversion in overtime after his sixth TD pass to lead the Razorbacks to an improbable 53-52 overtime win over No. 19 Mississippi. The Sooners have averaged 58 points in the past four games. The Cowboys are 5-3 ATS and the total is 4-4 this season. Only one will remain undefeated this week.
