What's up, everybody? It's time to preview. Week two of the Big 12 football season. I'm Pete Mundo.

0:06.6

Thanks for joining us. We always appreciate your time on the radio on the podcast. If you are on video, then yes, we're coming to you from a different location than usual after a travel trip this week. So we've got a great Big 12 schedule,

0:21.7

and I want to break these games down into three different tiers,

0:26.7

Tier 1 games, tier 2 games, and tier 3 games.

0:30.9

And then I'll give you three picks against the spread during the show as well.

0:36.2

So our Tier 1 games this week in the Big 12, Baylor SMU, Iowa State,

0:43.8

Kansas, Missouri, Arizona State, Mississippi State, and K State Army.

0:50.2

Our Tier 2 games, Oklahoma State, Oregon, West Virginia, Ohio, Houston Rice, BYU,

0:58.3

WIU Stanford, and Cincinnati and Bowling Green. And then my tier three games, Colorado, Delaware,

1:06.0

Utah, Cal Poly, UCF, NC, A&, Arizona, Weber State, and Texas Tech versus Ken State. So that's my

breakdown on Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. And then we'll go through all these games here

You've got rivalry matchups.

1:36.5

I traditionally like to stay away from those.

1:39.7

I want to lean into Iowa State.

1:42.1

I want to lean into Kansas.

1:44.0

But I'm also like, man, you got the

1:46.1

border war in Colombia. Is that a good idea? You got Iowa State hosting Iowa, where Iowa has

1:54.2

owned Iowa State in Ames. Iowa State's won the last two meetings in Iowa City. They have not won in Ames and going over 10 years now.

2:03.7

So I'm generally going to avoid those games against the spread.

2:07.7

But I'll open up with one that I like for you here.
