There aren’t many, and it’s the last week of the season. My predictions are on the way in the morning, but let’s hear yours in the comments section. Off: Kansas, Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas Tech Iowa State at No. 11 Kansas State (12:30, Fox Sports Net): The real Farmageddon has been a classic the past few years, and Kansas State — the Big 12’s most surprising team — will match up against the league’s second-most surprising team.

Now it was time to go up Interstate 35 North to Waco, home of Baylor University. Waco is pretty much known for two things. One is the home to the main campus of Baylor University, and the other is for the events that surrrounded cult leader David Koresh. On February 28, 1993, there was a shoot out in which six cult members of the Branch Davidians and four agents of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) died. After 51 days on April 19, 1993 a standoff between FBI agents and Branch Davidians ended in a fire that destroyed their compound located in Mt. Carmel, near Waco. Seventy-four people, including leader David Koresh, died in the blaze.

It’s a little windy — as expected — with a chill in the air, but you couldn’t ask for a better atmosphere for Senior Day in Jones AT&T Stadium. There’s a few clouds, but even with the morning kickoff, the Tech fans are fired up with No. 2 Oklahoma State in town. Pregame Raider Walk had a good crowd, and with a basketball game last night, there’s a few weary-eyed fans roaming the campus, but they’ll be ready to go by kickoff.
