Big 12 mailbag: Should Texas be preseason top 25?

In this week's Big 12 Twitter mailbag, we discuss Barry J. Sanders, Iowa State's bowl hopes and Joe Schad's preseason top 25.

On to the 'bag:

@Jake_Trotter Do you think it's already a foregone conclusion Barry Sanders will be the starting RB for OSU this fall?

Trotter: Pretty forgone. I've seen Oklahoma State's other backs, and it's difficult to envision a scenario in which Barry Sanders doesn't start, at least to begin the season. Let's put this way: if Sanders isn't starting, either one of the other backs is the Big 12's most improved player, or the Oklahoma State running game is in real trouble.
