Nobody's started a B12 football ranking yet?

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

Let's see if we can't get something going here as the league meetings close.
  1. OU - although I'm anxious to see if the youngster can without Bobby's QB
  2. WVU - best offense in the league but ole Dana still on the sidelines
  3. ISU - best running back, journeyman QB, stout defense
  4. K-State - because they get Texas in MHK
  5. Texas - better be better
  6. TCU - Gary lost too much for all the pundit credits
  7. TxT - defense a marvel by Tech standards
  8. Baylor - surely thump Ku again and get oSu in Waco
  9. oSu - rebuild for Pokes like Clones hoops the season past
  10. Ku - just a matter of time with Homer at the helm

This actually could very well happen if Snyder dies in the next month (actuarial tables give that a 20% chance) and his psycho son takes over.

One can only hope. j/k

I would almost never cheer for someone to die.......but this is tempting. I respect Snyder too much though

In all seriousness, though.

I'd go like this:

1) OU
2) WVU
3) TCU
4) Texas
5) Iowa State
6) K-State
7) Ok-St
8) Baylor
9) TTU
10) KU

Like everyone has said, 4-7 is fluid.
Not bad...not sure I'm completely sold on WVU yet. Swap ISU w/Texas and Ok-St w/K-State.

The firepower is there for WVU. I thought that last year, too but now that Grier is a year older I think its a little different. I'm just not sure what OK-St has at QB and that could be the difference. Gundy said during B12 media days that the Hawaii guy wasn't the starter even though he has the most experience.

As others have posted, 2-7 seem to be a roll of the dice. I would not be surprised to see five teams tied for third.

1. OU
2. WVU
3. ISU
4. TCU
5. OSU
6. Texas
7. KSU
8. Baylor
9. TTU
10. KU

Okay, here's the results of our preseason ISU fan +1 poll:

  1. OU
  2. ISU
  3. WVU
  4. TCU
  5. Texas
  6. oSu
  7. BU
  8. TxT
  9. K-State
  10. Ku

I'd say that overall, biases aside and discounted accordingly, it's probably not far off. ISU homer-high. K-State rival-low. OU and Ku well placed. Thanks for playing.

I did a quick run-through w/ game-by-game picks for all team schedules, but I haven’t finalized the process. Here’s a rough snapshot based partly on that and partly projected “power rank.” I’ll have an official one in a couple of weeks.

1. Oklahoma
2. TCU
3. Texas
4. West Virginia
5. Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State
8. Texas Tech
9. Baylor
10. Kansas
