The Big 12 Conference released its annual Big 12 Football preseason rankings today and the Bears were selected at #9. That’s obviously disappointing, but after winning one game last year its hard to blame the voters. But who doesn’t love a good underdog story? The Bears have plenty of upside and potential to shoot up those standings as the season progresses.
The full list is here below:
Here’s my other thoughts on these rankings. The top and bottom were a given, with Oklahoma easily taking the top spot and Kansas easily taking the bottom spot. Baylor and Texas Tech were likely going to be the 8 and 9 spots so its no surprise that they were both close in the voting.
