Survivor Big XII: Big 8 Edition

Survivor Big XII: Big 8 Edition

Survivor Big XII is the weekly quest to see who really is the top team in the Big XII.

Now we are down to 8 teams remaining in the Survivor Big 12 death pool.

Last week Texas Tech was the runaway voter getter, netting nearly 3/4 of all ballots cast. This week might be a little trickier, though.

So... who should be kicked off the island in week 5?

Previewing the Week in Big 12 Basketball

Monday, February 8

(1) Kansas at (10) Texas - 8pm CT ESPN

Everyone knows that Texas has been slumping recently, but can't we say the same thing about KU?  Sure they are winning their games, but OT in Boulder followed by 25 minutes of a close game in Lawrence vs Nebraska? Seems like both teams are showing mid-season fatigue. Based on that, and with the game in Austin, my heart tells me to go with the former #1 team in the country in the upset over the current #1.

Tuesday, February 9

Texas Tech at Oklahoma - 7pm CT ESPN 360

The Sooners are coming off an upset win in the hardwood version of the Red River shootout. Tech is coming off an impressive win vs Oklahoma St. I can't figure either of these teams out, so I am going to flip a coin.  Heads I pick Oklahoma, tails I chose Tech. Heads it is, Boomer Sooner.

Wednesday, February 10

Iowa St at Mizzou - 6:30pm CT ESPN 360

Mizzou knows that if they want that first round Big 12 tourney bye, they need to beat the teams ranked lower than them in the tourney. ISU is ranked lower than them. Mizzou re-starts their home winning streak.

(24) Baylor at Nebraska - 8pm CT ESPN2

Baylor's coming off an unimpressive loss at A&M. Nebraska is coming off an impressive loss at Kansas. Someone's not gonna have a good few days... and that someone? Nebraska.

... and because the Super Bowl ads were less than stellar, I give you Jay-Z and Rihanna's Run This Town intro from CBS' pregame.

Oklahoma St at Texas Tech 12:30 CT - ESPN 360

James Anderson is better that you at basketball.  He is also better than anyone in on Texas Tech. OK St wins.

(11) Kansas St at Iowa St 1pm CT - ESPN2

The states of Kansas and Iowa are pretty similar. Lots of rolling fields of wheat and other commodities. The basketball programs, however, at Kansas St and Iowa St are drastically different. K-State wins going away. 

Mizzou at Colorado 3pm CT - Big 12 Network

I will be at the game and I will be attending the post-Mizzou victory press conferences.  Have any questions you want me to ask Coach Anderson or Coach Bz? Post them in the comments section.

(10) Texas at Oklahoma 3pm CT - ESPN

The football version of this rivalry is called the Red River Shootout and ‘red river' is a good term for this game also, since it will be a blood bath. Texas wins going away.

(24) Baylor at Texas A&M 3pm CT - ESPN 360

Thus far I have only predicted road team victories.  Nothing changes here. Baylor wins.

Nebraska at (1) Kansas 5pm CT - ESPNU

Tell me if you have heard this story before: The school bully picks on a weaker kid.  The weaker kid gets into a slugfest and nearly beats the bully up. The bully is embarrassed and seeks out another weak kid and completely pulverizes them. Get it?

SB Nation's College Basketball Power 16 - How I Voted

I am honored to be a voting member of the SB Nation College Basketball Power 16 hosted each week by Searching for Billy Edelin. Each Wednesday college basketball bloggers throughout SB Nation weigh in on their weekly top 16.

Lots of losses this week threw my ballot into a tailspin and I realized I have no patience when it comes to mid-majors losing to other mid majors.  Is that wrong?

See the entire SB Nation College Basketball Power 16 or view my ballot after The Jump.
