Default Kansas @ Oklahoma St.

I'm sitting here reviewing my picks for the week and notice that I'm betting against Kansas. Is this really the smart play? The Jayhawks are perfect ATS this year and Oklahoma St. had Texas all but down for the count but somehow found a way to lose that one. Pags has them as a play, I'm just not convinced. Let's hear it crew...

I don't think I can back a team that plays as little defense as Ok. State obviously plays.

When you're up by 21 in the fourth quarter, as they were against Texas last week, you simply can't lose that game.

Kansas probably isn't as good as Nebraska made them appear but I do think they play more defense than Ok. State.

I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way they play for the National title. I would love to see it, I really would. But the fact of the matter is even if they win out, they are not going to get that #2 ranking over LSU... or Oregon for that matter. While I agree that the system is flawed and Kansas deserves a shot in this scenario, its just not going to happen

beyond that, Kansas will not win out. I love this Missouri team. They have come through for me big and I will be all over them when they play, especially if Kansas is favored. Then, assuming the Jayhawks win, they will probably get Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship. I like Oklahoma in that one as well.

No matter which angle you look at this from, the chances are next to nothing that Kansas will play for the title. LSU and Oregon have to lose and Kansas has to beat two top 10 teams, and they have not beaten a ranked opponent all year long!!! Who have they beaten this year? I'll give you A&M at home... and they aren't even ranked. They might even have trouble with the Cowboys this Saturday (though I do believe they will pull it out)

shark, BIG GUY, you're wrong on this one

Didn't Oregon beat USC, Michigan, AND Arizona St? I think they deserve their ranking. We will see if Kansas deserves to be there. If they beat Missouri or Oklahoma I will be impressed.

Kansas has no quality wins. 5-4 Kansas State (little talent) or 5-4 Texas A&M (who mailed it in 3 weeks ago). Missouri is going to KILL them.

Every team in the BCS top 10 would beat Kansas.

Just checked the Sagarin schedule strength, and he ranks Kansas's schedule as the 106th toughest, which is the WORST schedule of any BCS conference team.

Kansas should win this Saturday, but could easily lose. This is the best offense their defense has played thus far. Kansas has little chance against Missouri, and it will be a fun day to make money.

I pray that Kansas wins the next two weeks and comes out a favorite against Missouri (unlikely as most reasonable people will not think KU will win that game). But I will be riding the Tigers hard in that game if the line is anywhere under 6.
