Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a live chat recently. Here are some of the highlights:
Question: With Jalen Hurts in tow, is Oklahoma again the frontrunner in the Big 12 next season?
Carlton: Yeah. Probably. Best guess is that Oklahoma will be No. 1 and Texas will be No. 2 in the preseason Big 12 media vote and that both will open the season in the AP top 10. Jalen Hurts probably gives Oklahoma a slight edge, at least in the minds of voters.
