2011 Preview: Big 12

State of the Conference:
The Big 12's new round-robin schedule means that, like the PAC-12, the league has six more losses distributed out amongst the teams. However, unlike the PAC-12, the Big 12 has more good teams, and its bad teams are, well, really bad.

Upset Alert: Kansas State over Miami
With the Hurricanes reeling from possible NCAA sanctions, the Wildcats just might go into Coral Gables and come out with a win. Then again, they might not.
For longer odds, go Baylor over TCU.
