College Football: Tigers & Sooners Picked To Win The 12

I love it, time to start ramping up the college football talk. The Big 12 Conference released it's media poll and the results are predictable. Missouri is picked to win the Big 12 North, Oklahoma is picked to win the Big 12 South.
I have followed Mizzou all my life and I stand shoulder to shoulder with Tiger fans. During the 1980's I witnessed a few Tiger beat downs at Farout Field so I'm enjoying the rise of Mizzou football. Gary Pinkel has a special team in Columbia.
No shocker that Oklahoma is the top choice in the South though that division will be very tough. Texas is well.... Texas and Texas Tech will have it's best team perhaps ever.
Here's the breakdown of the Big 12 Media Poll:
