The Big 12 has three clear contenders at the top this year. Kansas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State, all should compete for the Big 12 Championship. Other teams like the TCU Horned Frogs, West Virginia Mountaineers, and Texas Longhorns could also be in the running.

Kansas State is a team you should never count out with head coach Bill Snyder. Quarterback Jesse Ertz looks like a classic example of a tough QB that can lead Kansas State to a good result this season.

Ertz has all the weapons at receiver he needs to be successful in 2017. Wide receivers like Dominique Heath and Byron Pringle are proven options that can break open opposing defenses. Redshirt junior tight end Dayton Valentine could have a big year as well.

The defense is in good hands with leaders like redshirt senior defensive tackle Will Geary. The corners are solid as well with Duke Shelley and D.J. Reed. Kansas State will have one of the best defenses in the Big 12.
