Chuck Carlton, Big 12 insider for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about college football and basketball in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:
Question: What was (or has been) the single most surprising thing about the Big 12's 2016 football season?
Carlton: Maybe the struggles and mediocrity of the Texas teams. Baylor and TCU went 6-6 and Tech and Texas failed to quality for a bowl. Remember when Baylor and TCU tied for the Big 12 title a couple of years ago? There's no excuse for all four Texas Big 12 members to be down in one season, given the talent available in the state.
