Today we head to BIG 12 country. Let's get right to it!

OKLAHOMA SOONERS - Look. I will be the first to tell you how many times I have been let down by this team and Coach Stoops. It is easy to put them here off of last year when they won at Kansas State, at #6 Oklahoma State then upended #3 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Make no mistake they have talent. Always do. I really feel their SOS will be the primary reason they win the Big 12. These guys are 57-4 last 10 years at home and that is where they get K-State, Baylor and Okie State this season. The defense brings back 9 starters and there are 5 more on offense. I rarely worry about Sooner offenses. ]

BAYLOR BEARS - Not the most experienced bunch for Art Briles with just 10 returning starters, but they have the best QB in conference with senior Bryce Petty behind center. 32 TDs and just 3 picks last year. He has his top WR back and Shock Linwood should replace departed Lache Seastrunk in the backfield. My big fear is basically the lack of seniors on the roster. This is a young team. But they do have a Heisman hopeful at QB so you can't discount them out of any games.

TEXAS LONGHORNS - Now normally, I would peg Texas for a step down after going 8-5 and losing a legend in their HC Mack Brown. But I like Charlie Strong. I know Texas has been down lately. But the Longhorns still get talent and we have seen what Strong can do with lesser players at UL. Maybe Brown just couldn't get through to the players anymore. 16 years is a long time and sometimes the game moves past you. A change of voice might get these guys to 10 wins. My sleeper pick for the Big 12.

KANSAS STATE - Every single time I get down on Bill Snyder, the guy just kicks me in the stomach and takes my wallet. 20-7 last 27 in B12 play. This guy gets JUCOs and then proceeds to go and upset teams up and down his schedule. They only have 11 starters back. But when did that ever matter to Coach Snyder. They finished on a tidy 6-1 run capped with a bowl victory. Here is a guy who continually gets more from his players.

OKLAHOMA STATE - I think we are looking at a rebuilding year in Stillwater. Just 8 starters back, 4 on each side of the ball. I will have a real better grasp at just how deep the rebuilding is after their August 30th game against Florida State. I think they have way too many holes and a 10 win season is out of the question.

TCU - Horner Frogs off a 4-8 season. They are 6-12 in the B12 the last 2 years. Obviously a slight rise in talent leaving the Mountain West. HC Gary Patterson does have 16 starters back and his defense could be the best in the Big 12. I do have reservations about the offense as they break in a new OC. I do see them topping last years win total.

TEXAS TECH - HC Kliff Kingsbury will again have an explosive offense as 9 starters are back for a unit that put up nearly 36ppg. These guys should be bowling for sure. But the defense has just 4 starters back. We might see a few shoot-outs in Lubbock. They need to show me something against the upper echelon teams here before I move them up.

WEST VIRGINIA - I really want to put these guys higher. I like HC Dana Holgorsen. I thought that being an OC at Oklahoma State, he would bring some B12 knowledge to both sides of the ball. Obviously, the Mountaineers are still trying to find some footing in the conference. They went 4-8 last year. They have 13 starters back and plenty of experience. But I can't discount the fact they have one of the toughest schedules in the country. These guys open with Alabama, get a breather vs Towson, then head to B10 country(?) to face Maryland before getting Oklahoma. Would I be shocked to see them at 1-3? Holgorsen needs to make a move soon or the heat will starting getting turned up.

IOWA STATE - Only reason these guys aren't in the basement is because they have 10 starters back on offense. But if they aren't good does it even matter? 4 straight losing seasons for HC Paul Rhodes entering his 6th season. He does have 2 bowl losses on his resume here, but unless I see some drastic improvement, it will be tough to double last years win total.

KANSAS JAYHAWKS - Hey. At least basketball is getting closer right? HC Charlie Weis is in year 3. I think we can see improvement over last years 3-9 record. If they catch Duke asleep, they could be 3-0 by the end of September. They have 17 starters back so they have some experience. These guys averaged 15ppg while giving up double (31.8). Obviously we need the defense to improve and the offense to put some points on the board for these guys to get out of the basement.
