KU football beat writer Matt Tait (43-23 overall, 2-4 in Week 12)

West Virginia 45, Kansas 17

Kansas State 38, Texas 21

Baylor 42, Oklahoma State 38

Alabama 24, Georgia 14

Wisconsin 27, Nebraska 24

Central Florida 28, Tulsa 24

Question: Notre Dame – It just seems like the Irish are in the middle of one of those amazing rides of destiny and their defense is as good as any defense out there. Manti Te’o for Heisman!!!

High school beat reporter Benton Smith (43-23 overall, 4-2 in Week 12)

West Virginia 41, Kansas 27

Kansas State 38, Texas 24

Oklahoma State 58, Baylor 50

Alabama 24, Georgia 19

Nebraska 30, Wisconsin 23

Tulsa 31, Central Florida 30

Question: Whichever team wins the national semifinal that is the SEC title game will beat Notre Dame by at least two touchdowns. The Irish have some impressive victories this year — and an awesome defense — but haven’t seen the overall speed of an Alabama or Georgia. I hate drinking the SEC Kool-Aid, but pour me another one, I guess.

Kansas State 49, Texas 28

Oklahoma State 45, Baylor 31

Alabama 31, Georgia 14

Nebraska 24, Wisconsin 21

Central Florida 42, Tulsa 31

Question: Alabama. I’d be surprised if either of the Crimson Tide’s final two opponents keep it within a TD. ‘Bama is that good.
