2018 Big 12 Preview

The Big 12 thanks to an outstanding season by Baker Mayfield was able to get a team into the playoff’s again.  They did not disappoint once there either with Oklahoma taking Georgia into overtime before falling short in a terrific game.  With Oklahoma losing Heisman winner Baker Mayfield, and other teams losing a lot to, this looks like it will be a down year for the Big 12.  Oklahoma should still be able to come out on top, but not likely to be huge player for the playoffs.  Lot of parity from team 2 to team 7 in the Big 12 this year. Should make for a lot of good ball games, especially with the brand of football the Big 12 plays.
