Chuck Carlton, Big 12 football beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered your questions about the league during a live chat recently.
Question: Are TCU and SMU's shot at the tourney all but gone thanks to injuries?
Carlton: We'll see. SMU has been in this situation before with a reduced roster and managed to play through it, although the challenge may be greater this season. The Mustangs have shown the ability to play with very good teams but also lose games they should probably win. The margin of error just got even less with Jarrey Foster and Everett Ray gone.
