Each week we will make predictions on all the league's conference games. We'll also be joined by a different SB Nation Big 12 blogger to weigh in with their thoughts. Check back throughout the week to see how much (or little?) we all know.
This week we're proud to have ccmachine from OU's Crimson and Cream Machine
And post your predictions in the comments section. If we like your picks we might ask you to be a guest picker... so take your chance and put your thoughts out for everyone to read. Also keep track of your record to see how you compare with our picks.

| National Game of the Week - Saturday, January 14 | |||||
| UNLV Runnin' Rebels at San Diego St. Aztecs | SDSU | UNLV | UNLV | UNLV | SDSU |
| What We're Saying | |||||
| Joe: Couple of upsets I thought about picking but just couldn't quite pull the trigger. | |||||
| Nathan: The toughest game to choose had nothing to do with the Big 12. UNLV bringing back the Runnin' in Runnin' Rebels has helped them pull upsets early on. SDSU is another surprise in the MWC despite losing a lot from last yr's Sweet 16 club. Big 12 wise, all eyes are on the Big Monday battle in Lawrence, and you guessed it, BU survives. | |||||
| Evan: Two streaks come to an end this week: Baylor loses their first and A&M wins their first. Though if either of those weren't to happen, I'd say Tech has a better shot at winning at hapless A&M than Baylor does at Phog. I just see Thomas Robinson neutralizing Perry Jones III and the rest falling into place for the Jayhawks. | |||||
| E. Carnes: We know Baylor is good, but I'm curious to see if they're good enough to win at Allen Fieldhouse. | |||||
| ccmachine: Baylor is quickly emerging as not only the best team in the Big XII but also one of the best in the country. They are currently teetering on a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament and games this week against Oklahoma State and at Kansas will tilt them either closer or away from that honor. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum Oklahoma and Texas Tech may settle once and for all this week who is the worst team in the conference. | |||||
