The Hawks have now proven that they are good ... are they a great team? The orange Cowboys stand in the way. Undefeated lives here.

2) Oklahoma (8-1, 4-1) #4 CBS
A caller to the DA Show (610 AM Kansas City) this morning assured the listeners that MU or KU will get smoked by OU in San Antonio. Frank from Olathe wanted to clarify that OU is the class of the Big 12. Sure, just ask Dan Hawkins.
