#12 OU (-4) v ISU.  The Sooners aren't dead yet, their play just smells that way.  I'm going to pick them to win, don't ask me why.
WVU v UT (-2.5).  I'll take WVU at home.
TCU (-22!) v KU.  TCU.
KSU v #11 Baylor (even).  Huh?? I'll take Baylor.
TT v #9 OSU (-10.5).  I'll take OSU

I cannot wrap my head around all this weirdness.

The Sooners win by 7 and cover.  D looked good, O was awful.  Sooners need a win against OSU or a Baylor loss next week to get into the CCG.   
WVU wins by 8.  Texas does not go bowling.
TCU by 3 over KU.  TCU needs a win next week to get a bowl.  KU is improving under the new coach.
OSU 23-0 over TT.  OSU defense plays another beauty and clinches a spot in the CCG.
Baylor by 10 over KSU.  Baylor needs a win next week plus a Sooner loss to get to the CCG.

Baylor vs OSU would be just what the Big 12 wants and not a good look for the SEC SEC SEC

My brother has bought into the theory that Bob Bowlsby has issued orders to the Big 12 officials to screw OU and Texas at every opportunity.

A thing that supports notions like that is that it is always easier to remember the bad calls that went against you than the bad calls that went your way.

I doubt that Bowlsby would issue an edict that damning.

Still, I suppose that some officials might have picked up on anger against the two "deserters" from the Big 12 office, and that that might affect their judgment on judgment calls.\

So maybe it is happening now.

Maybe it happened to Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas A&M as they were leaving the conference.

I would hate a Sooner loss to FoSu next week.  The Pokes might end up with scoreboard until the end of time.

Right now Texas is playing so bad no bad calls are necessary

it definitely, obviously, and blatantly happened to Nebraska

not sure about the others

I assume it could easily happen to the Sooners and Horns and probably is.

It's definitely happening to Texas.  Why would you think such an order would NOT be issued?  Some kind of "honor" among conference administrators?  That thought is laughable.

The SEC quite clearly directs the officials to protect and favor the higher ranked teams, especially if they're traditional powers and undefeated.  This really isn't any different.

Lots of Aggies believe it was the case in 2011. Been ridiculed on here for expressing that very same sentiment. 

No matter.  The SEC has been good for A&M.

yup, the B1G has been good for the Huskers ($$$)

but, the conference office being petty regarding programs leaving is extremely disappointing when it comes to the integrity of officiating.

I've been anticipating some biased calls but haven't really seen it against OU.  Just normally crappy B12 officiating.

The ball has already been delivered all the way downfield (and dropped) by the intended receiver, before the defender drags the QB to the ground, injuring him.  The ref is right there, staring, the entire time.  No call.  This type of crap happened all game long, and it has happened all season long.

Strangely enough, SEC fans think  their officials are bad, and biased, if not crooked.
