Which team is capable to come out of the dark and claim the Big 12 next season? Our panel of insiders, columnists and contributors take a look:
Chuck Carlton, insider: Plan on Oklahoma, West Virginia and TCU probably being the top three teams in the Big 12 in some order. So if you're looking for a dark horse, there's Kansas State, based on Bill Snyder always having the capacity to surprise. If you want to go out on a limb, Texas Tech has 10 defensive starters returning and it's entire offensive line back. If Kliff Kingsbury can find a quarterback, good things could happen.
