Crazy to me just how wrong the Big XII poll was....
  Preseason Current Standings  Conf Record
1 Utah BYU 6-0
2 Kansas State  Colrad 5-1
3 Oklahoma State Arizona State  4-2
4 Kansas  Iowa State 4-2
5 Arizona  Kansas State 4-2
6 Iowa State West Virginia 4-2
7 West Virgina  TCU 4-3
8 UCF Texas Tech 4-3
9 Texas Tech Baylor 3-3
10 TCU Cincinatti 3-3
11 Colroado Houston 3-3
12 Baylor  Kansas  2-4
13 BYU UCF 2-5
14 Cincinatti Utah  1-5
15 Houston Arizona 1-5
16 Arizona State Oklahoma State 0-7

I don't know if I can ever remember a preseason poll that got so much wrong and it wasn't just BYU. Colorado and ASU were also picked to finish near the bottom of the standings.  I do think this is one of the reasons that the Big 12 is kind of gettin snubbed.  The three teams at the top wee nowhere near the top 25 and thus they have had to fight their way up.  Each loss that ASU and Colroado have pushed them further down the voters minds.  Ithink if you look at the preasason rankings many of the teams near the top right now, with the exception of Indiana were near the top all year.
