Top to bottom, there isn’t a league in the country this season as fun as the Big 12.
Kansas State looks to be the favorite in my mind. QB’s at Utah and K-State can win with their legs if called upon.
I think Kansas St, although a solid team may be a bit over hyped this year. They lost 4 on the OLine, including a unanimous AA. As well, they lost their OC in Colin Klein. I think they are dangerous, but I think Iowa St maybe a bigger threat. They went 6-3 in league play and beat Kansas St in Manhattan in a snow game. 2 of their losses were to Ou and Texas

I honestly think Arizona, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, UCF, Utah, and West Virginia have a shot to make the Big 12 title game.

Agreed, although I’m hesitant on Arizona with a coaching change.

Depends on how things fall. An injury here and there in the right spots can change everything

Their qb looked as good as any in conference team out there against the goons in the bowl game. Guy is dangerous

I actually think some surprise team comes out of nowhere this year and makes it to the CCG. That’s just my take. Seems like it always happens in a year we’re expected to do really well.
K-State has to replace their entire O-line. Do they really have that kind of very good depth to rate them so highly??? The new QB is pretty mobile, but he’s gonna be running for his life quite a bit I’d imagine.
Their QB is nice though, but I agree!
I’m with you. Everyone seems to be sold on this QB and I get he was a top 100 recruit but that doesn’t mean he’s going to light the world on fire in year one.
Yeah, I mean K State only returns 4 starters on offense. QB Avery is listed at 6-2 188, good luck getting through the season unscathed at that size.

We’ve had a tendency in the past to make a Freshman look like a Heisman candidate.
