Big 12
Would you believe me if I told you Texas could be a contender in the Big 12? Me either.
The Big 12 is always a fascinating conference because things just tend to happen that no one else expects.
As a matter of fact, going into November last season no one expected Oklahoma to come out the conference champion. At that point, the Baylor Bears were undefeated and riding high, but that tough November stretch proved to be detrimental for Baylor and allowed the Sooners to win the conference.
Here are some key games that will decide the winner of the Big 12:
Key games:
- Oklahoma State at Baylor, September 24th
- Oklahoma at TCU, October 1st
- Oklahoma at Texas, October 8th
- Iowa State at Texas, October 15th
- Baylor at Texas, October 29th
- TCU at Baylor, November 11th
- Baylor at Oklahoma, November 12th
- Oklahoma State at Oklahoma, December 3rd
Ultimately, I am going to go with Oklahoma and Baker Mayfield to win the conference again, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Baylor- even with all the turmoil surrounding their program- or Oklahoma State pull out the Big 12.
