What non-K-State Big 12 game are you most interested in?

Martin: C’mon. Oklahoma at Ohio State - and this week, unlike last week, K-State’s schedule cooperates. Don’t overreact to Week 1, folks. Baker Mayfield was nearly perfect, right? And the Buckeyes sleepwalked through three quarters against Indiana, right? I think OSU will be just fine - which means OU’s margin for error the rest of the season would be razor-thin.

Young: The selfish part of me is most interested in Oklahoma at Ohio State because I know that will be the most entertaining game in all likelihood and the buildup is enormous. However, I think I'm more intrigued about a different contest and that is Iowa at Iowa State for obvious reasons (my background). The Cyclones are headed in the right direction under Matt Campbell and they place more emphasis on this rivalry by far. Iowa takes in a first-year starter in Nate Stanley (he's a future NFL QB, though) at quarterback into Ames for his first taste of the CyHawk battle. A lot of things falling into place for Iowa State in this one.

Hall: Everyone is on pins and needles to see how Baylor will bounce … No, Oklahoma at Ohio State. The Buckeyes embarrassed the Sooners in Norman last year – and I get the feeing OU has been thinking about this matchup ever since. For all the success the Sooners have had, they’ve fallen a bit out of the “elite” tier as far as national perception goes because of losses like the one to the Buckeyes last season, a blowout loss at home to Notre Dame in 2012, etc. It’s probably not a wise pick, but I think Baker Mayfield earns the marquee victory of his career in the horseshoe against an Ohio State team that struggled for three quarters against Indiana. >

Charlotte at #19 Kansas State

Martin: In speaking with Charlotte defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt this week, I came away thinking a couple of things: 1. Come up with a random but high number of points, and it’s realistic the Wildcats might reach it against the 49ers; 2. I get the sense Charlotte was spooked by what K-State did last week with its receivers so, in conjunction with an improved performance by the offensive line, don’t be shocked if the Wildcats run wild on the visitors, maybe eclipsing 300 yards on the ground; 3. The talent disparity is stark. So, remember when I called for a shutout last week? Won’t be that foolish again this week, but it’s hard to see where Charlotte has any success against K-State. Wildcats, 52-3, sounds about right.

Young: Just so you know, I think I was closest to being absolutely correct last week when I predicted a 55-7 win. I had Kansas State's score right on the money. Hall's answer is below me on this one and it's exactly how I feel about it so I'll only make you read it once. Wildcats win 49-7.

Hall: Want to hear me be a bad salesman? Be ready for a less exciting game than the one you saw last week in Manhattan, BE THERE! Charlotte is a worse team than Central Arkansas and the Wildcats look to establish some dominance on the ground after struggling a bit last week. That equals a game where the clock moves faster and you likely see less big plays from the Wildcat offense. I think the defense dominates, however, and gets fans feeling more confident heading into a sneaky huge non-conference game at Vanderbilt. I like K-State to roll 47-6.
