Source: Big 12 Football Blog - Aug 19, 2011 at 11:48 AM
We'll cap our Big 12 preview today with five predictions for the year.
1. The Big 12 will have two teams in BCS bowls. The Big 12 did it in 2007 and 2008, but hadn't done it since the 2004 season before that. This year, the Big 12 is in perfect position to land two teams on college football's grandest stage. Oklahoma, tied with Ohio State at eight appearances for the most in the nation, is the league's surest thing, but there are three quality teams below the Sooners that can get it done. The winner of the Sept. 24 matchup between Oklahoma State and Texas A&M in College Station will lose only to Oklahoma and reach a BCS bowl.
2. Texas Tech and Missouri will have a 1,000-yard rusher.
