Published July 24, 2005 12:37 am - Big 12 Q & A Beat writer John Shinn with his answers to a few burning questions The Norman Transcript The college football season remains nearly 40 days away, yet plenty of questions have already surfaced since the 2004 season came to a close. Most were discussed at Big 12 Media Days last week in Houston. The answers, however, were not nearly so easy to come by.
With that in mind, here are a few: questions and answers. Who’s winning the North? Trying to pick the North winner is like picking the winner of a horse race. Colorado owns the most talent of the six schools located above the Kansas-Oklahoma border but that hardly makes the Buffs an easy pick. They could be cursed by conference scheduling. The three teams they face from the South — at Oklahoma State, at Texas and Texas A&M at home — are all very loseable. The race to win the top side of the bracket could very well come down to who can win five conference games. That reality tips the scales in favor of three teams: Iowa State, Missouri and Nebraska. There’s a simple reason why they start the season in good position. Each plays Baylor. The South went 15-3 against the North last season. All three losses belonged to the Bears.
