Off-the-wall question: Who would you say is the most annoying person on television?

Question: Anybody on any of the so-called reality shows (except those on The Food Network, ’cause the Food Network rocks).

Sports copy editor Chris Cottrell (30-12 overall, 6-0 in Week 8)

Texas 42, Kansas 14

Kansas State 31, Texas Tech 21

Iowa State 23, Baylor 20

Question: For me, it’s a tie between NFL quarterbacks Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers. Watching both guys “play” gets me unreasonably riled up. Ryan Seacrest is right up there, though.

Iowa State 41, Baylor 30

Nebraska 37, Michigan 14

Question: Lindsay Lohan and her entire family. I think the dad was on Celebrity Rehab; Lohan herself is a train wreck and the mom acted either drunk or like a wacko on Dr. Phil. This is celebrity in America gone berserk. All three of them need serious help and should be off TV forever.

KUsports.com online editor Jesse Newell (27-15 overall, 5-1 in Week 8)

Texas 42, Kansas 17

Kansas State 38, Texas Tech 35

Oklahoma 28, Notre Dame 14

Iowa State 31, Baylor 21

Oklahoma State 42, TCU 24

Question: Rex Hudler. I hear he’s a good guy and that he works hard, but he’s just the exact opposite of what I think a baseball analyst should be. If I can’t get the radio synced up to Denny Matthews, I watch Royals games on TV with the mute button on.

Sports copy editor Nick Gerik (26-16 overall, 4-2 in Week 8)

Texas 34, Kansas 17

Kansas State 40, Texas Tech 21

Oklahoma 24, Notre Dame 14
