[xgunnx]

The following is my official BIG XII prediction. IMO i believe Texas is the dark horse and will finish in the top four. Baylor is a mess right now but still has the talent to compete.

1 Oklahoma
2 Oklahoma State
3 West Virginia
4 Texas
5 TCU
6 Baylor
7 Texas Tech
8 KSU
9 ISU
10 Kansas

Let's make a deal: If you're right, we'll keep Dana. If, however, WVU again finishes in the middle of the pack, my alma mater should, and probably will, look for a better leader. We can get average coaching from anywhere. WVU needs someone who can finish in the top 3 of the Big 12. Hell, we're not asking Dana to win the Big 12. Just stop battling Kansas and Iowa State for the lower rungs of the ladder.

Let's warm up for the task by beating Missouri, Youngstown and BYU.

Interesting predictions. Oklahoma is the obvious preseason champion. I also think the pundits have not given Oklahoma State enough credit and think the Cowboys will finish in the top 3 in the Big 12.

TCU will also end the season in the top 3, probably #2 behind Oklahoma. Possessing an experienced D, Kenny "the thrill" Hill at QB, and one of the most underrated head coaches in college football.

Texas - here's my bold prediction. The Longhorns get waxed in the opener against Notre Dame. Beat UTEP the following week but then loses the next 3 games @ Cal, @ Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma - resulting in Coach Strong being fired.

Who finishes #3 will be between WVU, Baylor and Texas Tech. If we can stay healthy, I like our chances. Baylor still has talent but is a complete mess. One of my biggest questions is which Red Raiders team will take the field in 2016?

TCU must replace four starters on the offensive line, although center Austin Schlottman and guard Matt Pryor played the last three games as injury replacements.

Without Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson to terrorize the Big 12, the Horned Frogs have to figure out if Kenny Hill can be the next quarterback to operate an air raid offense.

The defensive line is short on experience at tackle. But high on potential at defensive end with Josh Carraway, the 2015 sack leader, in place, and James McFarland, the 2014 sack leader, returning from a broken toe that sidelined him all of last season.

The secondary will miss do-it-all safety Derrick Kindred. At cornerback, Jeff Gladney and converted receiver Tony James have plenty of speed, but neither has started a game in college.

There will be new kickers in 2016 after four years of stability. TCU hasn’t had to worry about them for a long time.

The coaches will have to do quick work — Arkansas visits in Week 2, and Oklahoma arrives in Week 5. But the raw materials are there.

So I don't see a top 3 finish for TCU.

WVU good enough for the top 3 to 4. Despite the hate from Cuyahoga Falls.
