Big 12

After last season's development of Texas Tech as a national contender and the high powered offenses of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas everyone is wondering who is the conference the reigns supreme over the college football landscape, the Big 12 or the SEC? The Big 12 is very competitive and should remain that way this year. Oklahoma, last year's runner up returns thier Heisman quarterback Sam Bradford and 9 players on defense. Texas returns last years runner up in the Heisman and quarterback Colt Mccoy, 9 offensive starters, and a solid defensive nucleus. Last years surprise team was Texas Tech and with losing thier quarterback and star reciever, they should take a step back only to be replaced by Oklahoma State who surged through the regular season to 9-3 and give hope that the COwboys can compete this season. In the Big 12 North, the powers are shifting after Missouri's reign with Chase Daniel. Look for Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and Kansas State to all be competitive this year and fight for the North title.

Overall, this conference from top to bottom is probably one of the strongest conferences. Lasseason Texas beat Oklahoma and still lost out on a chance to play in the Big 12 title game and national title. This year the Longhorns will be out for revenge. Look for Mccoy to put up even BIGGER numbers this year and lead the Longhorns to the National Title.
