College Basketball Preview (March 1): Texas vs. Oklahoma
This season has seen few bright spots for Oklahoma, but one of them came nearly a month ago, when the Sooners beat the #10 Longhorns 80-71 in Norman.

Can Oklahoma overcome Bradford loss and rebound from BYU upset?
To say the least, the script flew out the window when Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford didn’t pop up quickly after being driven into the Cowboys Stadium turf late in the second quarter tonight against BYU.

College Football’s Surprise Teams of 2009: Baylor Bears
With a roster full of returning starters and experienced players on both sides of the ball, Baylor will be a lot more than that pesky team that could give the Big 12’s best a hard time. In Art Briles’ first season last year, Baylor may have gone just 4-8, but little separated them from that [...]
Who could be the Big Ten’s 12th team?

Florida-Oklahoma – One for the Ages?
And now the waiting game begins. Florida and Oklahoma both took care of business in their respective championship games, and while the crazy BCS machine could punch out an Oklahoma-Texas rematch, we appear to be headed for the SEC vs. Big 12, juggernaut vs. juggernaut BCS national title game matchup that we’ve been expecting. Both [...]
