Put up or shut up time; great matchup to see whether the top Big XII teams are much better than the top Big 10 teams. Michigan State is 2nd best team in Big 10 and right now, I think Baylor might be 2nd best in Big XII. TCU gets a great matchup against Ole Miss in Peach with both teams probably a little disappointed

If I'm Art Briles and I get the chance, I hang 100 on them. I make a statement on national TV for the Big XII. I think they have a clear speed advantage for that game.

I would do the same if I was TCU, but think the matchup against Ole Miss is not as one sided as the Baylor/MSU game.

I don't see Baylor as clearly better than Michigan State. Remember that Michigan State played Oregon - at Oregon - tough until late in the 3rd quarter and while this will be "close" to a home game for Baylor, I expect it to be a good one. I expect the same from TCU vs Ole Miss

I think the TCU vs. Ole Miss is going to be a great, competitive game - looking forward to watching that one.

If MSU turns this game into a slug fest, it will be a competitive game. If Baylor jumps out early and often (goes up 21 early in the game) it could turn into a complete rout.

According to CBS site, Miss State gets Ga Tech in Orange Bowl - another great matchup

we will see, ESPN says Ms State. Would be b.s. for them to play 3rd tier SEC.
Ole Miss/Baylor

In a indoor environment Baylor may put up 800 yards on Michigan St

From NC play-off contenders to Peach Bowl has shades of SMU to Sun Bowl all over it.
