Midweek musings while thinking this might be a good week to take Baylor and the points, all 53 of them:
• Oklahoma's bound to have a letdown, isn't it?
• To heck with debating whether this is Bob Stoops' best team; a better question is it the best college team of all time?
• Oklahoma State and Texas A&M aren't that bad.
• The Sooners might just win the national championship and every major individual award.
• Tell me again why Cory Ross has been Nebraska's third-team I-back?
• I keep thinking that someday Jammal Lord will show he can throw the football.
• I keep being wrong.
• The Huskers' running game won't wear K-State down in the second half like it did KU.
• Even though dinosaurs were roaming the earth the last time K-State won in Lincoln, I'd be surprised if the Cats don't win comfortably.
• With all due respect to Missouri, the North champ will be decided Saturday in Nebraska.
• Mizzou's Gary Pinkel is learning how difficult that next step is.
• Think Oklahoma State, embarrassed the last two weeks by OU and Texas, might be looking to take some frustration out on KU?
• The good news for KU is that Bill Whittemore might play this week; the bad news is that if he does play, the decision to pull off Adam Barmann's redshirt will be questioned even more.
• Interceptions and all, Barmann was impressive Saturday ... in some ways, maybe even more than the week before.
• TCU? Give me a break.
• Shouldn't a team have to beat somebody to warrant BCS consideration?
• That coach who's led Minnesota to its first nine-win season since 1905 looks awfully familiar.
• Is a major bowl and a $1.06 million salary enough to make Glen Mason forget about Ohio State?
• Say what you will about Mase, but the guy can flat coach football.
• Memo to Joe Paterno: Please, please retire before your reputation is shot.
• Memo to Penn State: Don't even think about firing him.
• So maybe the NCAA won't use Kellen Winslow Jr. for its 2004 preseason public relations campaign.
• Speaking of popping off, tell me again why the Bengals are dissing the Chiefs?
• If Trent Green plays like he did against the Browns, nobody beats KC.
• Someone tell Gary Stills his job on kickoff returns is to block, not run alongside Dante Hall.
• Do the Browns' defenders practice making stupid penalties?
• Kudos to a deserving Angel Berroa for his Rookie of the Year honor, but does he win it if a nearsighted baseball writer doesn't boycott Hideki Matsui on his ballot?
• Let me get this straight -- baseball is America's pastime and yet we can't qualify a team for the 2004 Olympics?
• Did Steve Bartman have anything to do with that?
• P.S. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
