Mid-week links

After losing to an NCAA Division II school, I-AA Missouri State has to go up in division to play the Cowboys this week. Interestingly, the Bears won’t play another I-A team this season.

Please forgive ESPN.com’s Tim Griffin for accidentally referring to Oklahoma State as the Sooners in one of his previous blogs this week. To make up for it, he wrote some nice things about OSU’s Triplets. after the Cowboys became the first team in Big 12 history and the fifth ever in NCAA D-I to have a player with 300 passing yards, a player with 200 rushing yards and a player with 200 receiving yards. Griffin’s love for Zac Robinson, Kendall Hunter and Dez Bryant also shows through in his weekly Big 12 rankings.

If you’re playing college fantasy football, hopefully you didn’t take the advice of CBS Sportsline’s Michael Hurcomb last week and bench Hunter. Hurcomb makes it up to Spud this week, calling him a “fantasy contender.”

And finally, I know this guy is a big Texas fan, but he offers plenty of praise for the Cowboys in his weekly breakdown of last Saturday’s games.
