They return most of their team that was not just a media darling last year but a very solid team...Top 20 team this year IMO...

You agree with me that the North is crap (presumably agreeing with me that the winner of that Div. will be "overrated") and you agree with me that Tech would have a better D if you and I waved white towels at the French....

Tech was ranked to finish the season last year and most say they will have a better defense this year...As for the North being overrated two teams in the top 20 that return most of their teams that made for a great late season test last year all return...

Now, I agree with you that the talking heads will yick yack about the Big XII, bla bla bla. But, in terms of actual strength.... even if these teams are as good as the poll indicates (Which, they're not) the bottom of the Big XII is dreadful.

I honestly don't konw about the rest of their conference like I said, but I would expect Oklahoma st, colorado, aTm, Nebraska to field some decent teams...Probably on par with the Big ten and Pac-10 in the bottom of the conference...
The thing is Texas, Okie, and Mizzou give the conference three legit top 10 teams to start the season and that is better than every conference besides maybe the SEC and the Big ten could contend with maybe 3 legit top 15 teams, but then you start talking about Kansas and Tech maybe in the top 15...
