Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:
Who do you think should be the Big 12 favorite: Texas or Oklahoma?
Carlton: Until proven otherwise, it's Oklahoma. The Sooners have won four consecutive Big 12 titles, have produced the last two Heisman Trophy winners and have a new defensive look with the hiring of Alex Grinch. Jalen Hurts should be just fine replacing Kyler Murray. While Texas has made significant strides under Tom Herman, the Longhorns have too many question marks with a young defense.
