5* - Texas Longhorns (-9)
I will not go into great detail as to why I like Texas in this game as most would just take it as the ramblings of a homer. However, I am confident that this game will not be close with the Horns getting up early and never looking back. Most Iowa backers are looking Texas? collapse at the end of the season and while I make no excuses for that, those games would likely have played out much differently if McCoy had not been knocked out early in the K State game. This kid is an exceptional quarterback and I have heard from sources close to the team that he will indeed be playing at 100% and if this is true, Iowa has no chance whatsoever against an exceptional Texas team.
