...someone else's lazy analysis and didn't add any effort or analysis of my own"

it's like reading the summer college football editions of magazines like Athlon or Street and Smiths etc where it becomes obvious there was no effort to look into what was new with the program and they just copy and pasted from someone else's magazine (which was lazily done as well).

Lots of questions in the Big12 with so many teams turning over the majority of their rosters this past off season and totally bringing in a new group of players. AZ, ASU, TCU, TT, etc all fall into this boat. I think the safe bets to be at the top are Houston, Iowa St, then teams like Baylor and Kansas. The rest is a hodge-podge and could be a lot of dog-eat-dog for teams that are trying to blend rosters on the fly and build chemistry. We're in that mix but I would put us at the top of that group maybe along with Cincinnati because we bring back enough returning experience to give stability while we blend in the new guys.

Helps the team to be undersold early on, lets them play with a chip so I have no problem with it.
