Josh, spot on opinion for Oklahoma State. As an alumnus and fan of the Pokes, our biggest question mark coming into the season is QB play. Bowman is the obvious Day 1 starter, but a lot of fans are excited to see what Zane Flores can do / is he ready. We are also still concerned about our offensive play calling at times (aka Kasey Dunn) and defensive growth. Defense has improved each year under Nardo, but hopefully we can continue improving in the defensive backfield.

Josh as Tech fan not upset or surprised by the ranking. Time for Tech to take the next step up.

Yes sheduer is best qb in big 12. He did great last year with no line and no run game… He gone be even better this year with a better oline and a better offense gameplan that matches team personnel. No more linebackers automatically dropping back in coverage bc they knew they were throwing

Cam Rising has been injured every year he's played.

I have KU and K-State as the top 2 in the league and I think KU will have the best defense in the Big 12 this season. Kansas also has the most experienced slate of offensive skill players and potentially the best QB and the best RB in the league. Kansas has depth at those positions, believe it now or you're going to be surprised. I think KU will go 4 running backs deep and Cole Ballard and a newcomer will be pushing Jalon Daniels as good as Jalon Daniels already is. KU's defensive backfield is going to be salty and their end rushing game will have some depth that they really haven't had the past two seasons. Fresh legs. They don't have stand out Wide Receivers, but they all have good hands and run routes really well. Number 0 will be a guy that other teams will have to put their fastest defensive back on, and he can catch in traffic as well. The O-line is going to be as solid, if not better than last season. That is why I would agree with ESPN's power rankings giving KU the best chance to win the Big 12.

S Sanders: #1 qb in '24 Big12

Yes they have questions about alan and the defense. Alan did the full work out, not the qb woke out. Lost weight and built arm strength. Defense is going to be better in their second season under dc. Ollie will get 1 game.

What i like is they hate alan Bowmen, but dnt know if qb will make it thru the year or is as good as they think. Utah will be pushed more than they think. They got a weak schedule. Ksu is not better then last year in any spot. Avery may be. The line is a lil down. Have no idea about wide outs. Running game was good last year. The defense cant be better with the guys they lost.

Not big on Jefferson

Josh.. Your dislike of Colorado clouds your judgement. You do not think that CU improved last years OLINE? You give some teams credit for improvement and others you dont! just be consistent
