Football season is creeping up, and the Big 12 welcomes four new teams.
The O’Colly will rank position groups in the conference each week. Previously, quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, offensive lines, special teams, defensive lines and linebackers were ranked. The defensive backs is the last group.
No. 1: TCU
Four starters return from the national runner-up season for TCU. Josh Newton is one of the best defenders in the conference, and he was named to the preseason conference team and earned first-team All-Big 12 last season.
