Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league during a live chat recently. Here are some of the highlights.
Question: Which Big 12 football team do you think has the best shot at making some noise in the conference as an underdog?
Carlton: Well, the oddsmakers seem to be believing the Texas hype machine. The over-under win odds from Bovada this week had Texas at 8.5 wins -- more than TCU or West Virgnia. Huh? At the same time, we might have reached the show me, don't tell me stage with Texas this decade.
