UC/Big 12: Satterfield, Cunningham, Sorsby, Corleone, Royer, Gerhardt
Cincinnati Bearcats Satterfield, AD Cunningham, Sorsby, Corleone, Royer, Gerhardt at Big 12 media days
The Big 12 dispensed with its preseason media poll this past week at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
A likely reason is last year the Arizona State Sun Devils were picked dead last yet finished in the College Football Playoff semifinal before losing in double overtime to Texas 39-31. Still, there was interest in coming up with a tally at Big 12 media days, so here you are for your speculative pleasure.
‘Unofficial’ Big 12 football media poll
Sixteen media members in attendance at The Star, each covering a different Big 12 team, produced the preseason poll.
Arizona State, with eight first-place votes, was the choice to repeat as champion. Texas Tech, Kansas State and Iowa State also received first-place votes.
Here is the poll, with first-place votes in parentheses and total points (16 points for first, 15 for second, etc.):
