It is not broken down by division but is an overall ranking based on offense, defense, special teams, turnover ratios, and a few other intangibles... Read more

By Tony George Last week we learned more about the Big 12, and as each season rolls along, teams develop chemistry, stories emerge, and sleeping giants awake while others fall by the wayside. OU nation took a deep breath as QB Bradfords replacement set a school record and tied a national record with 6 TDs. Landry Jones is a bright spot for the future for OU, only a redshirt freshman, Big 12 foes will be seeing... Read more

By Tony George My first Big 12 report of the season, and I look forward to posting weekly recaps and updates from my specialty conference.

The Big 12 North Season Preview By Tony George The balance has shifted in the North from the old days of Nebraska and then everyone else, to the rise of Kansas State in late 90's and then a myriad of teams rising and falling like Colorado. The power the past few years has centered on the border war between Missouri and Kansas, both of whom were consistent in the top 10 the past couple of years, with Mizzou having... Read more

I finished 1st and 2nd respectfully in those 2 sports. While those are lofty numbers, I accept that challenge personally this year and look forward to large profits, as 17 years of... Read more

By Tony George I was in Las Vegas last week and had the opportunity to visit the Pregame offices and spend some quality time with RJ Bell and Marco DeAngelo last Friday. It was not my first trip here by any means, but my most memorable one. How far this operation has advanced and refined itself is amazing since its inception when RJ first started with Freepicksbyemail.com I also did a podcast with RJ, so any of... Read more

Need I say more? Big 12 Championship for Free , Courtesy of Tony George Sports Oklahoma -16.5 vs. Missouri It boils down to Oklahoma who was given the nod by the BCS point system to represent the South division of the Big 12 after walking through both Okie State and pounding Texas Tech into the ground. OU is playing as good of football as any team in the USA right now, and I agree with the call for... Read more

By Tony George Plaxico Buress was not the only person to shoot himself in the leg this weekend, as Missouri shot themselves on national television with a surprising loss to Kansas as a 14+ point favorite, while Oklahoma scored 61 points on the 11th ranked team in the nation, jumped Texas in BCS ratings. Now Oklahoma has a date with either Florida or Alabama in a national title game after they beat Mizzou at Arrowhead... Read more
