Zero Cyclones represented on 2026 preseason All-Big 12 team

Honestly that seems fair.

Per usual, postseason all big 12 awards will depend mostly on the # of team wins.

Really, who besides Konrardy even has an argument? Even with the ones that left, there were few who would have been 1st team based on last year's production. Brahmer and Hansen would be the closest with perhaps Means on defense? The CB's and Safeties were all coming off injuries.

We don't have successful Big 12 talent returning and, really, wouldn't have had a lot of first team returning with no turnover. We would have ad a lot more 2nd and 3rd teamers, however.
 
Konrardy is the only one that had a shot, and without knowing all the kickers in the league, hard for me to say if he got jobbed?

CMC and all the players that left us hanging are to blame…. F ‘em as far as I’m concerned.
He was 2nd team pre-season all-conference. I prefer to have no accolades and being the underdog. None of our opponents know what to expect. Hell, none of us know what to expect.

Yeah, frankly I think Kyle was jobbed. After all, he has a top 10 FG all-time in major college football, second best in the history of the Big 12.

Stone Harrington was just better overall last year.

78.6% FGs vs Kyle's 77.8%.
97.6% PATs vs 90.5%
107 pts vs 61 pts

Kyle has a longer max distance (63 vs 58), but the rest goes to Harrington.

If Kyle hadn't played hurt that one game, he'd probably have it, but he did and the stats reflect that.

The FG percentage is a wash. Harrington benefitted from a ton of 20-29 yard attempts. They were both perfect from inside of 40 yards. Kyle had a better percentage from 40+ and had the conference's second longest field goal of all time. The PAT's Harrington has. The total points is a reflection of the offenses not of the player.

I don't agree that Harrington was just better overall last year.

I’ll bet that the coaches are happy that no players made the list, and will also be thrilled if we’re picked dead last. If I were a coach I’d LOVE that!

Accolades mean nothing and are for losers.

We wouldn’t have the level of success we do now without them. Matt took us to a New Years 6 bowl and Won. He owes us nothing and he took this team as far as he could
