Football Who will win the Big XII North in 2009?

FTR,
I am going to pick my Jayhawks. Not because of being a homer. Well, maybe a little bit. Moreso the fact that they are bringing back a lot of experience. OU and UT will be very tough. I expect us to get killed by UT but the OU game could be interesting. Also, Texas Tech may be winnable considering they lost some great players.

I would say that Nebraska will be KU's biggest challenger. Pelini seems to have them on the right track back to being a college football power once again.

MU may surprise and win some games that nobody thought they would. But I just don't see them playing at the level they have the past couple of seasons due to all of the great players they lost.

CU is hard to take seriously if they keep Cody Hawkins at QB.

KSU is a question mark at this point. Snyder was once a great coach for them. You gotta wonder if he has anything left in the tank. His last 2 years were less than impressive to put it mildly. And have they been able to recruit any kind of talent? Coaching staff he put together seems to be pretty solid.

ISU won't be challenging for anything. At least not yet.
