On the pregame show before the Baylor Bears and Texas Tech Red Raiders game, the College Football on Fox analysts discussed the Big 12 Conference. On the topic of who is the team to beat, none of the analysts picked the Texas Longhorns.
“Look at the standings right now, it is going to look different in three weeks” Brady Quinn stated. “I’m telling you we are going to see a rematch of the Red River Showdown.” Quinn went on to say that he didn’t buy into the other teams that will still have to play each other. He continued, “when it’s all said and done we are going to see an epic second showing of the Red River Showdown between Oklahoma and Texas.”
Quinn didn’t pick his team to beat but he firmly believes in the rematch from Oct. 10 in Dallas, Texas. Reggie Bush picked the Iowa State Cyclones, who the Longhorns will face in two weeks in Austin. Matt Leinart went with the Oklahoma State Cowboys because of their trio of offensive weapons and their defense.
Urban Meyer on the other hand did make a choice going with the Oklahoma Sooners as the team to beat. However, much like Quinn his pick for the Big 12 Championship game is Texas and Oklahoma. “I think Oklahoma is the most talented team in the Big 12.” Meyer continued, “at the end of the year they will be standing. Also how do you pick agains [Sam] Ehlinger?”
