Team of the Week

There's an overload of candidates from "insanity" Saturday, but from an HD perspective, you've got to favor Big 12 country. So, that brings it down to Colorado with their 27-24 home win over #3 Oklahoma or Kansas State with a 41-21 road win over #7 Texas. It's truly a tough call, but I give the edge to the Buffs mainly because I could envision a KSU upset a little clearer after last year's win. Plus, the Cats had a bye week to prepare and Texas had shown some vulnerability. The Colorado win seemed more improbable as OU looked like a pretty focused team. Even though it was at home, the impact of what many (including me) thought was the fifth best team in the north taking out the top team in the south is huge. Anyway, both wins were awesome and great for the division and maybe Colorado gets the edge just because we've gotten used to watching the Cats push Texas around.
