Big 12 Football: Preseason Power Rankings

1 of 11

The top two teams are obvious, but where does the rest of the Big 12 rank in our preseason Power Rankings?

Ah, can you feel it? TCU will kickoff the Big 12 season this Thursday and end our lengthy football drought. No longer will we have to scroll through an endless feed of speculation, rather, soon we will see actual football.

Real football means we’ll get real rankings, too. After this week we’ll be able to have tangible results to base these power rankings on, and not just offseason speculation.

Of course, at the top of the Big 12 are TCU and Baylor, but in which order? Can either team rebound from their playoff spurn? Will former juggernauts OU and Texas climb their way back to the top? Which team will surprise us and impact the race for the conference championship?

These questions will all be answered over the next few months, and all we have to do is enjoy watching it all unfold.

Trevone Boykin and the TCU Horned Frogs have reportedly had a strong offseason, and with Gary Patterson at the helm we can expect them to play up to par. The Frogs return 10 starters to an offense that was firing on all cylinders last season. With experience and expert coaching, it will be extremely hard to knock off TCU.

Amidst scandal and scrutiny, the Baylor Bears look to rebound after last season’s playoff snub and bowl game disappointment. Can Art Briles somehow reconcile his reputation?

This season is very intriguing, especially in the Big 12. These teams are so unpredictable, and this season could be an indicator for what’s to come in the next 2-3 years.

So buckle up folks, football is right around the corner.
