Big 12 Football
Texas & Nebraska Are 2 of the 3 top teams in the Big 12
Though big changes are on the horizon for the Big 12 as long time conference members Nebraska and Colorado bolt for the Big 10 and Pac 10 respectively next year, expect two things to remain constant this season. One, the Big 12 will still be one of the elite conferences in the country, and the conference title race will come down to three teams Oklahoma, Texas, and  Nebraska. Players from the conference were 4 of the top 5 players taken in this year’s NFL draft, a feat never accomplished by any conference in history.
