CFB Preview: Texas/Oklahoma and Florida/LSU Headline the Week



#1 Oklahoma vs #5 Texas
This is the game of the year thus far. The top 2 Big 12 teams matching up where the winner will have the inside track to the BCS Title Game. The Sooners are built to win this season, and head coach Bob Stoops expects nothing less. Mack Brown the Longhorns head coach says this is the game he circled on his calender when he looked at this year's schedule. This winner of this game will likely be one of the teams playing for a championship in January, it is that simpl! e. I have said since day 1 that it is Oklahoma's year, the Sooners are the pick.

#4 LSU vs #11 Florida
Yet another gargantuan game with championship implications. Florida already has one loss and cannot afford another, while the defending champion LSU Tigers still remain undefeated in the tough SEC. To make this game even more intriguing an LSU defensive lineman decided to say he was going to "take out Tebow." The Gators are already using this as bulletin board material. I think this is the week Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin get the offense back on track. I like the Gators in a tight one.

#3 Missouri vs # 17 Oklahoma State
Mizzou has been overshadowed in the Big 12 by Oklahoma and Texas all year, but with one of them definitely losing this week the Tigers have a chance to get into th! e limelight. The Oklahoma State Cowboys have a huge opportuni! ty of th eir own. If this team can knock off Missouri, suddenly the Cowboys have themselves in great position in the Big 12 at an overall mark of 6-0. Expect a great game, but in the end Missouri lead by underrated QB in Chase Daniel pulls it out
