I was looking at my bowl predictions last year and they were worth a chuckle. I've decided to share them here: http://pittsfieldindex.blogspot.com/2013/01/2012-predictions-revisited.html Just click on the bowl tab.
The Big 12 is my favorite conference, and not just because I live in Big 12 country. You definitely get your money's worth throughout the season.
It's a low confidence pick. When you have a league where the 8th and 9th-place teams are dangerous at home, it makes things really difficult. I'm probably low on K-State and Iowa State. Oklahoma seems low, but their defense is a wreck on paper and they have the second-toughest schedule in the country according to my projections.
Success in this conference has a lot to do with your schedule, which is why I don't have Texas winning things. They will be a more complete team this year, but with trips to TCU, Iowa State, West Virginia and Baylor, and an early season trip to BYU, there are a ton of landmines there and I'm not sure their better performance will equal a better record.
Picking Baylor to win 10 games...it will happen if the defense can get out of the offense's way. Oklahoma State's defense is already there, and that gives them the edge for the conference crown.
