The Big 12 is one of the best conferences in college football. It has a strong recruiting base and constantly brings in some of the best talent. The conference can recruit with the best, but just three teams combined for the top 10 players. This is based on Rivals.com's rankings that were just updated.

8. Jordan Parker, DB, Oklahoma
Another four-star OU commit from California. Parker is a top 15 CB and the No. 134 player.
