So this has been a big week for us at Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of

Heartlandcollege sports.com, because we also released our all big 12 team and also did our

picks to win the conference. Let's start there. I'm Pete Mundo. Great to be with you guys as we

are starting to feel like the season is getting here. You know, you got media days,

preseason polls that's getting here. So here's what the Heartland College sports staff decided

in our preseason Big 12 football poll. And that is that the Oklahoma Sooners will win the

conference this year and will face Iowa State in a rematch of the 2020 Big 12 conference

championship game when the two teams meet at AT&T Stadium where Big 12 Media Days is taking place

later this year. So those were the one-two and it was a consensus one-two by the Heartland

College sports staff. And then three to six was a very

close race. All these teams, all four teams came within six votes of each other, showcasing to me

the depth in this conference. TCU was our third pick. Oklahoma State fourth, Texas Texas 5th, West Virginia, 6th.

And this order could have gone anyway a couple of votes here and there.

Oklahoma State was just, just missed out on that three spot by a vote.

TCU edged them out. Then it was Texas at five, West Virginia at six. Kansas State was the

consensus number seven pick, as were the Baylor Bears coming in at number eight, and Texas Tech

in the nine spot followed by Kansas. So everybody had seven through 10 the same in K-state,

Baylor, Texas Tech, and Kansas.

So once again, one through 10 in the Big 12 for our preseason poll for Heartland

College Sports.com.

Oklahoma, Iowa State, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas, West Virginia, Kansas State,

Baylor, Texas Tech, and Kansas. Now, Texas, West Virginia, Kansas State, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Kansas.
