The 1985 college football sea son is only half finished, but the Southwest Conference race is al ready finished for half of the contenders. Houston, Texas Tech and TCU fell out of the Cotton Bowl picture with losses last Saturday, giving those teams, at least, two conference losses. SMU and Rice stand in pre carious positions with 1-1 con ference records and have the majority of the conference’s un beaten teams still remaining on their schedules. And who are the unbeaten teams? Baylor leads the conference with a 3-0 record, followed by Arkansas and Texas A&M at 2-0 and Texas at 1 -0. The inside track to the Cotton Bowl should be established this weekend. All of the SWC’s un- beatens will pair off and play one another, with A&M mosey ing up Highway 6 to face 14th- ranked Baylor in Waco and Texas butting horns with No. 4 Arkansas in the Ozarks. BRANDON BERRY Sports Analysis To the victors will come the spoils of a little breathing room. To the losers will come the pres sure of must-win situations the rest of the season. So, who are most likely to be the victors and the pressured losers? Texas at (4) Arkansas (Razorback Stadium in Fayette ville — 2 p.m. — ABC-TV) The Texas offense had better have been working overtime this week. After facing an Oklahoma Sooner defense that limited them to seven points, four first downs and 87 yards of total of fense, the Longhorns will now' face the second best defensive team in the nation this week. And Arkansas possesses a much more versatile offense than what the Sooners threw. . . excuse me, ran. . . at Texas last weekend in Dallas. The Longhorns have a much better team than they showed against the Sooners and a much better team than anyone ex pected in preseason forecasts, but they’ve made their trip to the Cotton Bowl for this season — Razorbacks 17, Longhorns 13. Texas A&M at (14) Baylor (Baylor Stadium in Waco — 7 p.m.) The “Battle of the Brazos” ap pears to be even defensively, with the Aggies ranking second in the conference in total de fense and the Bears a close third. And while the A&M offense leads the the SWC and Baylor ranks seventh, the Bears have faced the defenses of SMU, Georgia and USC. The Aggies have seen only one Top 20 team’s defense, re sulting in a 23-10 loss to Ala bama. For the Aggies to escape Waco with a victory, they must avoid the penalties that stymied them against the Crimson Tide in their season-opener. For the Bears to defeat the Aggies, they need to capitalize on big plays, passing the ball when the A&M secondary misses a coverage. Baylor doesn’t do anything great, it just does everything well. A&M had superior ratings in almost every offensive and de fensive category, it just hasn’t been able to put these good per formances together on the same night. When consistency meets ex plosiveness, consistency is the safest bet. But the ’85 Aggies are different from any other A&M team in recent years — they’re hard to bet against — Aggies 28, Bears 24. ; SMU at Houston (Astrodome in Houston — 7 p.m.) Who cares?
