MVPs, top coaches and playoff picks

The college football season is upon us, and we have already had three Big 12 teams in action with Week 0 matchups.

But with most teams not kicking off this weekend, it is still the perfect time to dive into some conference-wide predictions from our Buffaloes Wire staff.
