Tyler E.

Williams: I don’t even expect the Coogs to be in the bottom-three relegation zone. Here is my too-early, pre-media-days standings prediction, which I reserve the right to change and/or deny ever existed.

Oklahoma
Kansas State
Texas
Baylor
TCU
Texas Tech
Oklahoma State
UCF
Iowa State
Houston
Cincinnati
Kansas
West Virginia
BYU

Khan: With apologies to my alma mater, Justin is higher on the Coogs than I am. Losing Alton McCaskill was a big blow. This isn’t how I would rank the teams, but how I think my media brethren will peg them:

Texas
Oklahoma
Kansas State
TCU
Texas Tech
Baylor
Oklahoma State
Kansas
UCF
Cincinnati
Iowa State
West Virginia
BYU
Houston
