Big 12 beat writer Chuck Carlton recently held a chat. Here are some highlights.
TCU or Baylor ... which football team has a better season in 2017 and why?
Carlton: "TCU. The Horned Frogs have more experienced talent returning with 17 starters. Give Gary Patterson the benefit of the doubt. Baylor still has some excellent talent but depth could be a nagging issue next season. There's also question marks on the offensive line and on defense depending on what happens with Travon Blanchard off the field."
How about a way-too-early prediction for the finish in the 2017 Big 12 football race?
