It's game week, baby. Let's do it. Let's get it rolling. I can't wait. Hey guys, it's Pete Mundo.

If you look up and down the list, it's probably TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas, and Kansas

state that can all say, hey, we're the third best team in this league.

If things break right, it's us.

And like West Virginia, Texas Tech and Baylor, they could finish anywhere from fourth in the league to ninth in the league.

Like that's what's amazing about this big 12 this year.

And I'm so pumped for it.

And we appreciate you guys joining us on Heartland CollegeSports.com.

It's great to get it going here for another week.
