It's week one of the Big 12 football season, and we've got the full breakdown for you here on Heartland College Sports. Welcome in. I'm Pete Mundo.

0:09.5

Glad that you are here joining us, as always, as a part of the show, please make sure you're subscribed if you want the best Big 12 content coming your way all season long.

0:20.4

Thank you for doing that.

0:21.4

Also, same thing on the podcast.

0:23.5

So we've got 16 games in week one here.

0:26.7

I'm so fired up.

0:28.3

I can't wait.

0:29.0

I don't know about you, but it's finally here.

0:31.0

Last week in week zero was a nice tease,

A little bit different than how I've done it in recent years where I gave you a lock, a bad bet and an underdog. I'm just going to give you three picks I like, and we'll track them all season long.

1:30.1

So first, you know, I looked at the schedule and we've got a lot of just FCS opponents.

1:36.4

I broke the schedule down into three tiers of games this week in the Big 12.

1:42.5
