It's easy to forget, but as recently as 1997, Texas had just another football program. A year after stunning Nebraska to win the Big 12 title, the Longhorns went 4-7 and were simply a part of the conference instead of being the alpha dog in the pack. In came Mack Brown, and boom went the dynamite.

CFN.Big.XII.Preview

They're predicting a Nebraska-Oklahoma title game, after Okla wins another 3-way tiebreaker (with Texas and aTm) in the South.

5 Big-Time Players Who Deserve a Bigger Spotlight
1. DE Aldon Smith, Soph. Missouri
2. DE/LB Brian Duncan, Sr. Texas Tech
3. LB Keenan Robinson, Jr. Texas
4. WR Jeff Fuller, Jr. Texas A&M
5. RB Alexander Robinson, Sr. Iowa State

5 Non-Conference Games the Big 12 had better take very, very seriously
1. Kansas at Southern Miss, Sept. 17
2. Northern Illinois at Iowa State, Sept. 2
3. SMU at Texas Tech, Sept. 5
4. UCF at Kansas State, Sept. 25
5. San Diego State at Missouri, Sept. 18

Bold Predictions ? It?ll be 2008 all over again with a three-way tie on top of the Big 12 South. Oklahoma will beat Texas, Texas A&M will beat Oklahoma, and Texas will beat Texas A&M, and the Longhorns will end up going to the Big 12 title game. ? The running back will make a comeback in the Big 12 with Kansas State?s Daniel Thomas, Oklahoma?s DeMarco Murray, Nebraska?s Roy Helu, Oklahoma State?s Kendall Hunter, Iowa State?s Alexander Robinson, Texas A&M?s Christine Michael, and Colorado?s Rodney Stewart all running for more than 1,000 yards. ? The South will go 22-2 in non-conference play with TCU beating Baylor and Arkansas beating Texas A&M in a shootout. ? Colorado will go bowling. ? Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson will average more than 300 passing yards per game and will go over 400 yards at least three times. ? Missouri will come up with a big year on both sides of the ball and will be the hot team going into 2011. ? Missouri?s Aldon Smith will come up with more sacks than Texas A&M?s Von Miller. ? Robert Griffin will lead Baylor to one mega-upset simply by being Robert Griffin.

5 Best Pro Prospects
1. CB Prince Anukamara, Sr. Nebraska
2. DE Von Miller, Sr. Texas A&M
3. WR Jeff Fuller, Jr. Texas A&M
4. LB Travis Lewis, Jr. Oklahoma

2. DE Jamarkus McFarland for Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma
3. LB Andrew Gachkar for Sean Weatherspoon, Missouri
4. OT Nick Martinez for Russell Okung, Oklahoma State
5. QB Garrett Gilbert for Colt McCoy, Texas

Texas depth chart is up.

Colt's little brother Case is the #2 QB already, surprisingly in front of highly touted fellow frosh Connor Wood.

Well, Connor Wood specifically chose Texas so he could redshirt. They are trying to develop a sit two, play two rotation, assuming that Garrett Gilbert would consider turning pro after 2011.

However, everyone assumed the star would stay ahead of the other McCoy too.

Nebraska did their part, but some other B12 teams are looking terrible. Mizzou trails SDSU 21-20 in the 4th quarter. Aggie, a 27.5 point favorite, trails FIU 20-13. Throw in Kansas getting manhandled by Southern Miss.

Argh, unfortunate. Aztecs need a solid victory under Hoke's regime. They seem to be heading in a great direction though, I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat one of the big-4 in the Mountain West (Air Force, TCU, Utah, BYU).
