Each week I bring you a sort of fireside chat from one of the many Great Lake regions of the Big 12 Conference.

I take you from the Rockies to the gentle rolling hills of south central Oklahoma, to the Land O' Lakes, to the palm trees of Texas.

I've been to the Ozarks, Lake Waco, Clinton Lake, Eufala, Medina, Thunderbird and even Skunk River to name a few.

This week I'm in Austin, Texas—home to rippling Lake Travis.

This week’s rankings went topsy-turvy after the Nebraska-Mizzou game in Lincoln on Saturday afternoon. Iowa State, Oklahoma State and the Boomer Sooners are still winning.

While OU lost the No. 1 BCS ranking, the Big 12 is still a big player in the national championship picture.

Join me as I take a look at which teams hold the power cards for Week 10.
