I predict...
Pokes take the conference, losing one to Texas as they bounce back from a loss in Dallas...
K State has a senior QB and continuity, both are huge on the plus side when your team is well coached. (They will be salty)
Texas finishes 3rd or 4th in conference losing 1 OOC to USC on the road, In Dallas to OU, on the road to TCU and on the road to WV late in the year. (8-4 would be fantastic, anything more in year one is butter on the bread)...
WV will be tough but their best defensive player is out for a month. They could have 2 losses in their first 5 games with a backloaded schedule. Real or not, thats a tough row to hoe.
