Welcome to our Big 12 Preview podcast!

I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are going to give you our team-by-team look at the Big 12 conference race. With our previews, we project each Big 12 rival’s season, slotting teams into four categories.

– Tier One: A team which is a Big 12 title contender, and a likely Top 25 team nationally;
– Tier Two: A solid team, and a likely bowl participant, but a team with a flaw or two which will prevent them from threatening to win the league;
– Tier Three: A team with bowl aspirations, where the Strive for Six is the main goal, a goal which obtainable if the season plays out as projected; and
– Tier Four: A team going through a rebuilding season. You can squint at the schedule and perhaps find six wins and a bowl bid, but a losing season is the most likely outcome.

So ... How many teams in the Big 12 will likely be out of the bowl picture by the end of September? ... What to make of the messy middle in the most competitive Power Four conference, with any number of teams who could finish with anywhere from four to eight wins? ... Which teams are our picks to play for the Big 12 title? ... And ... of course, where does CU fit in the mix? ...

Let’s find out ...
