Big 12 Wants the Crown


The Big 12 conference is coming for the SEC's crown. The conference's overall record through the first 4 weeks of the season is 33-8. The conference once known for their pound it out style of play boast 4 of the nations to quarterbacks in Sam Bradford of OU, Chase Daniel of Mizzou, Colt McCoy of UT, Todd Reesing of Kansas, Josh Freeman of KSU, Zac Robinson of OSU and Graham Harrell of Texas Tech. These gun slingers are tops in the nation in all passing stats. Also, true freshman, Robert Griffin of Baylor is as exciting as they come in the conference.

The Big 12 now is a mix of the PAC -10 pass happy style and pure SEC speed. If everything pans out it should be quite a showdown between the Mizzou Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners for the Big 12 title. Texas, Texas Tech and Kansas will have something to say about that and rightfully so.

At times, Demarco Muarry of OU looks like Reggie Bush while Jeremy Maclin of MU looks like Ted Ginn Jr, Josh Smith of CU looks like DeSean Jackson and Michael Crabtree of Tech looks like Michael Crabtree. The conference's top playmakers are also the nations most exciting players.

Colorado upset a top ranked West Virginia team on national television. The Sooners are averaging 50+ points per game as are the Missouri Tigers. Kansas, Texas, and Texas Tech all look like good ball clubs as well. Be on the look out for the Colorado Buffaloes to play spoiler this year as well.

The Conference is in good shape and has a great chance of bringing a national championship back to the Big 12.

Peace,
