Confidence rising!

Shacks is a good name for a rebel bbs'er

yeah, B12 is likely to get 2, but we don't control our destiny.  OU or OSU could also slip at some point outside their game.  I mean, it wouldn't blow my mind to see OU drop the game @Baylor or OSU to lose @TTech.  I don't see a 2 loss OSU getting in and no way a 3 loss OSU gets in.

If we win out, we just have to get Cotton Bowl.  Have to.

 

If OU loses to OSU they will get it.  sorry bro. 

Still might get both in the BCS. Might.

sure, but we definitely don't control any of the factors on if they do or not

Let's breakdown the BCS bids.  There are a total of ten.

ACC: 1
Big 12: 1
big 10: 1
Big East: 1
Pac 12: 1
SEC: 1

That leaves four at large bids.  The SEC will get two BCS teams, so we are down to three.  If Boise State is undefeated they will go to a BCS bowl.  Down to two.  The ACC and Big East are only getting one bid so we can count them out for at-large bids.  The loser of this weekend's Oregon/Stanford game will likely get an at-large bid as long as they win out.  I really don't see the big 10 getting a second BCS bowl.  That leaves us with one at-large bid.  The possible teams for this slot will be the loser of the OU/Okie ST game and Houston (if they win out).  Sorry, but no BCS bowl is going to pick Houston over the Sooners or Pokes.

If OU and OSU don't get upset between now and Bedlam (meaning the only remaining loss for either team is when they play each other) then they will both go to BCS bowls.  The only thing that could take away a second Big 12 BCS bowl (and thus knocking KSU down a slot) would be a second bid going to the big 10.  Doubt it happens, but we have a lot of football left to play.  Upsets happen and the BCS acts in mysterious ways.

Jesus Christ shacks....   really?

RISING!

Texas A&M Aggies at Kansas State Wildcats

Texas A&M is favored by 4.5 points
TeamRankings win odds for Kansas State: 47 percent

We've been fading Texas A&M all year and will do so again this week as the demoralized Aggies hit the road for Manhattan to face a Kansas State team that will continue to make its presence felt on the national scene.

The Wildcats are being written off by some as simply a decent team that had a hot start, but LHC Bill Snyder's crew is an ever-improving lot that has played just one bad half of football since the opener. This is a potent team with a powerful offense, respectable defense, playmaking special teams and elite intangibles. Collin Klein and the Cats are a power running team that is throwing the ball better than ever but will move the ball easily by both land and air against a banged up Texas A&M defense that wasn't that good when it was healthy and now must prepare for an entirely different scheme than it has seen the past two weeks.

Last week we warned that an A&M team with little to play for could get blown out in consecutive weeks. This junior-dominated Kansas State outfit is the Big 12's rising power and is more than equipped to finish what the Oklahoma Sooners started last week. The wrong side is favored here, and it won't require the customary second-half collapse for the Aggies to lose this one by double digits.

The pick: Kansas State 52, Texas A&M 24

Kansas State 35, Texas A&M 30: The Aggies have fizzled so often in the second halves of games against any decent competition this year, it's hard to expect them to play four good quarters on the road here. A&M is one of the worst teams in the nation in terms of turnover margin while K-State is No. 8.
