Yes i know kyle, texas A&M is not on that list

[Emerson1]

I didn't even notice.

TCU is on there, & will be again this year (#25 before bowl win, so probably 15-18 range).

TCU is a program on the rise & they visit Austin next year too!

TCU has become a consistent presence. If A/M had given a better showing in the bowl game, perhaps they would have made it in, but oh well. At least my longhorns have made it every year so far.

[BreckTxLonghorn]

Didn't OK State used to be top25 good? Am I imagining this?


Also, I see Mizzou making that list next year, as well as aTm. Now if the Big 12 can just start working on Baylor and KU....

They also lose a TON of talent. It'll be a better matchup down the road IMHO.

Oklahoma state has beaten oklahoma twice in the last four years, which is why you keep hearing about them, but they've been hovering on the edge of the top 25 for a while now. I think they might make some noise next year though.

Oklahoma will have a fantastic defense, but not much else.

Missouri will be an 8-win team

Kansas will be better, Baylor will win 4-5 games (i wish they would make a bowl)

Texas will win 10-12 games again

Kansas State needs a more consistent game plan, but they should be alright

Texas Tech and Texas A&M can finish ahead of Oklahoma if they can score against them.

I don't think that OSU will just be good on defense, they've got bobby reid who turned around that offense since Pena

[charlesrixey]

I think as the area teams get better, they won't hurt each other in recruiting, they will hurt teams out of state that recruit here.
