Hey outhere,Micco I pick Baylor to win the Big XII. Baylor/BYU could be one of the best non con games this year.
I'm definitely watching that one how about you?
At least 2 Big XII teams will make a P6 bowl game this year. Right now I'm not sure who the other team will be.
The at large team will be either BYU or Houston two teams that will be in the Big XII next year.
A Pac XII team, Utah, will make the playoffs.
As I mentioned above I see us at 9/3.
They have one of the toughest non con schedules in the country but I think TT will overachieve.
There's no reason to think that Venables will be a bad hire. But it's preseason, I'm going to wait and see.
Micco Macey the Big XII conference has made steady gains the last 2 years.
They're 4/0 the last 2 years in P6 bowls and look at the teams that won them. Baylor might even make the playoffs but it's only preseason.
But when all is said and done the SEC will win the nc again. Is it going ever going to end.
I have Baylor beating OU in the regular season, but OU beating them in the Big 12 CCG. I think Baylor (and especially Aranda) are the real deal and will be the next great Big 12 team. Hopefully OU and Texas will be out of the Big 12 before that happens so we can both leave as the bellcows of the conference.
Here's my prediction for OU (those who don't want to hear about OU can skim down):
(H) Sep 3 - UTEP - W
(H) Sep 10 - Kent State - W
(A) Sep 17 - Nebraska - W
(H) Sep 24 - KSU - W
(A) Oct 1 - TCU - W
(N) Oct 8 - Texas W
(H) Oct 15 - Kansas - W
(A) Oct 29 - ISU - W
(H) Nov 5 - Baylor - L
(A) Nov 12 - WVU - W
(H) Nov 19 - OSU - W
(A) Nov 26 - TTech - W
(N) Dec 3 - Baylor - W
(N) Dec 31 - Alabama - L (but we give them a better game than Ohio State does in the NC game)
I was thiiiiiis close to giving OU a second loss, to WVU. I think they're going to be a handful this year, plus OU is likely to lose a second game this year just because there are always things to work out with a new staff.
But I'm a homer, so I stuck with the win.
I can see the Big 12 with either one in the CFP and one in a NYD 6 bowl, or two in the NYD 6 bowl but no CFP.
