Big 12 Contenders or Pretenders?

We all know about Kansas. Today we find out about the rest of Big 12 challengers. Three play at home, so the whole group has a good shot at keeping high hopes intact today.

Texas -- They travel to Mizzou. Can't afford to let this one slip. Durant is gone, but Gary Johnson could fill the void.
Texas A&M -- Insert new coach and the beat goes on. They host Colorado so getting off to good start shouldn't be a problem.
Baylor -- Seriously? Yes, the Bears have a great backcourt. They'll host Iowa State today and the skeptics will be watching.
Oklahoma -- How can you not like a team with Longar Longar? They get K-State today which might be the best match-up in the Big 12. KSU wants to make up some lost ground on the national scene and with Walker and Beasley anything is possible.
