Kansas State v. Texas Tech

Now this is a big-time game.  Here are the current standings in the Big XII:

Kansas St:  4-0, 7-0
Texas Tech:  3-1, 6-1
Oklahoma:  3-1, 5-1
Oklahoma St:  2-1, 4-2
Texas Christian:  2-2, 5-2
Texas:  2-2, 5-2
W. Virginia:  2-2, 5-2
Iowa St:  1-3, 4-3
Baylor:  0-3, 3-3
Kansas:  0-4, 1-6

So the winner of this game will have the inside track for the Big XII championship.  Furthermore, if KSU can win it, they will be in a very strong position to play for the National Championship for the first time in school history.  And here's one more thing:  KSU's quarterback, Collin Klein, is now regarded as the front-runner for the Heisman, and he could take a huge step toward capturing the trophy with a big game today.

This will be only the 13th meeting between KSU and Texas Tech.  They did play for the UCFC once before -- on November 30, 1933, when Texas Tech beat KSU 6-0.

Vegas has made KSU a seven-point favorite in a game with an over-under line of 60.  So that would indicate the final score would be something like 34-27.  I would be surprised -- and thrilled -- to see a Big XII game in which so few points were scored.
