Every week T-Roc will share his thoughts on what is going on in college football, make picks and fire back at your nasty comments. Want to learn more about him, check out his first post or visit his archive.

Haul out the bondage gear and get your cat o’ nine tails ready… it’s time for some lovin’, Big 12-style.

I’m not saying fans of the Big 12 are into slapping each other around and shitting on each other, I’m just saying that in the S&M show that is college football, Big 12 schools have owned the dom roles while their opponents can’t escape the submissive jobs. And the Big 12’s making it hurt.

The conference is 22-2 straight-up, which draws a shrug at this time of year given the cupcake early schedules. It’s the Big 12’s 13-4 record against the spread that makes me want to dress in leather and punish someone. You know why?

Through Weeks 1 and 2 I’ve laid off the Big 12 schools entirely. So I’ve missed out on that big fucking gravy train. Well no more, amigos. I’m pounding the Big 12 in a trio of BCS-conference clashes and I’m looking to get that sweet fucking Big 12 gravy splashing all ‘round. Who’s with me?!?

Anyone?

Hello?

Bueller?

All numbers are from Pinnaclesports.com from Tuesday night.

Kansas at South Florida, Friday, 8 p.m. ET: Kansas + 3 ½

It was just over nine months ago Kansas was a 3-point underdog in Florida to a Virginia Tech team I was positive would win the Orange Bowl. KU subsequently told me and my money where to go. It wasn’t a happy place.

So what if I said this summer the Bulls would win the Big East and the Jayhawks wouldn’t be in the end-of-year Top 25? The guy who blindly bets by his summertime predictions deserves a Big 12-style whipping. I’m too skinny to handle that shit.

Iowa State at Iowa, Saturday, noon ET: Iowa State +13 ½

I like both the Big Ten and Iowa more than I liked them last year. But this is too many points to give a Cyclones team that always covers the spread against the Hawkeyes.

ISU head coach Gene Chizik knows his team isn’t good enough to compete for the Big 12 crown, so this state rivalry game is the shit for ‘08. I doubt they’ll win but the Cyclones should keep it close.

Central Michigan at Ohio, 2 p.m. ET: Central Michigan -3

Ohio’s getting much love after keeping things reasonable against Ohio State last week, but the one offensive touchdown didn’t bowl me over.

CMU’s Dan LeFevour threw for 15 touchdowns and ran for another 13 in his eight games against MAC opponents last year. He’s the conference’s MVP and should prove it again on Saturday.

Michigan at Notre Dame, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET: Michigan pick

I don’t know what I find more obnoxious about Notre Dame football: the exclusive NBC contract or the stubborn fan base who keep putting money on a team that doesn’t deserve such backing. How is this game a pick ‘em?

In the battle of schools with iconic helmets and overplayed fight songs, I’ll take the defence that pitched a shutout in last year’s game.

Arkansas at Texas, 3:30 p.m. ET: Texas -24

In another case of me adjusting my preseason opinions, the Longhorns look like they’ll bootfuck anyone and everyone in their way this year.

In the meantime, Arkansas beat UL-Monroe and Western Illinois at home by a combined total of five points. At least Texas has the decency to slaughter the Sun Belt champs and beat up UTEP in its own house. The Piggies will squeal like, well, stuck pigs on Saturday.

Southern Mississippi at Arkansas State, 7 p.m. ET: Arkansas State -2

Arkansas State should be a fashionable bet after Weeks 1 and 2, upsetting Texas A&M on the road then hanging 83 points on Texas Southern. But laying only two points at home isn’t a sign of much respect.

The Red Wolves, the Indians at the time, almost toppled a healthy Golden Eagles squad less than a year ago, in Hattiesburg no less. I say they finish the job on Saturday in Jonesboro.

Last week: 5-1 ATS

Year-to-date: 7-5 ATS
