Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Q: Is Texas poised to be in College Football Playoff contention next season?
Carlton: That may be a little ambitious, although Texas is in a New Year's Six bowl now, facing Georgia in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. To be in playoff contention, Texas first has to win the Big 12 and Oklahoma will continue to be an imposing roadblock coming off four straight conference titles.
