Is the Big 12 an illusion; a league of miniature, one-dimensional facades more suited for Hollywood backlots than cross-conference challenges? Or, will it continue to stand up to the rest of the nation?
Northwestern's noble defeat raises more questions than it gives answers. Fortunately, there's always the scoreboard.

(+/- Denotes change in rank from previous standings. Note: I've adjusted the ordering to account for ties. This explains the apparent race to the top.)
Crystal Ball Call: LOUISIANA TECH by 7 (Estrada). Pitch perfect foresight catapulted this contender into the top two of the standings. Nevermind no one watched the game. LATECH 17, NIU 10.
Hindsight is 20-20: NORTHWESTERN by 7 (FSUncensored). Actually, this was a great pick. But in this sport a missed block is the difference between genius and guess. I'll bet FSU is losing sleep from the incipient thundering of hooves.
