2010 College Football Week 10 Predictions: A quick glance at the Big 12 South standings might cause one to think that all order in the universe has somehow been lost. Baylor, yes that Baylor, sits atop the division standings with a 7-2 overall record and a 4-1 conference tally, while Texas and Texas Tech bring up the rear with a combined Big 12 record of 4-7. The Bears shocking turn along with the surprising play of the Oklahoma State Cowboys, which were supposed to be down after losing Zac Robinson, Russell Okung, and Dez Bryant, has made this weekend's meeting between the two schools of the utmost importance. 2010 College Football Week 10 Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the Pokes listed as a -8.5 against the spread home favorite.

Baylor Bears vs Oklahoma State Cowboys (-8.5): The spread seems a little much in this contest given the explosive nature of 2010 College Football Week 10 Picks the Bears offense. Granted, the Cowboys are an impressive offensive team as well, as their 45.3 point per game average would indicate; however, their defense has not exactly been a shutdown unit. OSU is giving up an average of 28.5 points per game on the season, but in its five home games it has yielded 33.8 per contest, including the 35 and 51 the Pokes gave up to Texas A&M and Nebraska respectively. Baylor, which is led by the dynamic Robert Griffin, is averaging 34.3 points per game on the year, but in conference play the Bears have bumped that number up to 40.2 per game. It is difficult to imagine Baylor scoring under 30 points since they have done so just once this season (TCU). Oklahoma State, which is averaging 50 points per game at home, also figures to put its fair share of points on the board as well. While the Over/Under of 73 seems daunting, this clash of offensive titans seems destined to exceed it.
