Full list here.

I fully expect us to finish higher than that projection, barring injury or defection.

Each coach was allowed to vote for the other 9 teams. KU received as many 1st place votes as possible.

How bad is TCU that every coach voted them behind Tech given all the issues in Lubbock?

ah noted...

I am a bit surprised the coaches think OSU is the third best team in the conference.

I am a bit surprised the coaches think OSU is the third best team in the conference.

They have a lot of talent on paper, and the rest of the conference is still a but unknown. After you get past Kansas, 2-8 could be rearranged in a lot of different orders. Its going to be a fun year in the conference.

Boca is going to love this one.

What does Self voting for Baylor as his #1 say about his thoughts on the coaching abilities of Travis Ford? Self is on record for saying that OsU is the most talented team in the conference yet he voted Baylor ahead of them with what is widely regarded as one of the worst coaches in the conference leading the Bears.

The list looks pretty accurate. West Virginia will swap with OSU and OU will swap with KSU. That's my call.

Kansas
Baylor
West Virginia
Texas
OU
OSU
KSU
ISU
TTU
TCU
