Will happen at 1 p.m.

Rumored matchups are Texas-Kentucky, Kansas-Florida and Iowa State-Arkansas.

Tennessee, Missouri or LSU for OU?

Edit: It's Missouri on Dec. 5 in Norman.
 
ut-UK and KU-UF are sound match-ups. Iowa St will kill Arkansas. We would handle any of those 3 match-ups, home or away.

What games do you think the Big XII can pencil in as wins:

It is early but I really like OU, Baylor, ISU, KU, and TCU. I am not saying the other teams will lose, I just like those games for the conference. I am going with TCU based on what the announcers said all year about the injured guys and transfers.
 
It'll be bad for Tech if they can't beat Auburn in Lubbock. West Viginia should be able to beat LSU at home, also. Is expect at least 6 wins out of the 10, maybe 7.

I should have included WVU in my list. I agree that Tech should be able to win but it is Tech and didn't someone important transfer?
 
It looks pretty good for the Big 12. Most of the toss-up games are at home for Big 12 teams. I'd give Arkansas a big edge over ISU in Arkansas, for example, but not in Ames. (I think Ark. could really be good next year.)

kansas caught a break (have you heard that before?) with UF in Lawrence. Florida loses a ton. Had they drawn UK, that would definitely look like a loss IMO.

I'll withhold any kind of a guess on the MU/OU game at least until I know how we'll use our last few scholarships. That could determine a lot. I do think our returning players will see significant improvement, though. If Cam Biedscheid gets a waiver to play the first semester, that will also change things (sat out all of last year as a redshirt but didn't transfer until semester at Notre Dame; I doubt he gets it, but it's possible).

The UK game is the only one I'd say leans in the SEC's favor, and that's not by much (I legitimately think they could go undefeated, though).
 
LSU is A LOT better than some of you are giving them credit for. Didn't WVU lose both of their talented guards from this past year?? I would give LSU the edge as of right now.

I wonder if De'Angelo Allen will see significant PT when we play Mizzou in Norman?!

Jordan Tolbert (10.7 ppg) and Dusty Hannahs (7.7 ppg) both are transferring from Tech. That means they're losing 4 of their top 5 scorers from last season.
 
Kentucky.

They came close in 2012. Next year's team could be better.

I predict Tech will win more games this year than they did last year.
