[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 130920342, member: 1427666"] To surprise, a team would have to perform in a way that is well outside even fanatic expectations and there is only one team that can do that in the Big-12 in any season - KANSAS. All of the other teams are capable of being good on a consistent basis and have been at different times. Some are good on a regular basis, some are not, but all of them taste victory on a regular cycle. Kansas does not. Kansas now has a proven coach, some would even call him legendary - I will not go that far, but he has a worthy track record. A normal season for Kansas is 0 to 3 wins. If Kansas becomes bowl eligible this year, that would qualify as a surprise. WVU pulling off the unexpected and racking up 7+ wins is great news for us but would it really surprise anyone? WVU has done that before. The surprise for Texas is that they do not place at the top each year as Oklahoma does. With their money and recruitment they should be the hunted never the hunter. The balance of the conference, all have what it takes to win, but most of them fall apart because their roster and coaches are not up to the challenge on a week-by-week basis and not so much because of who they played. Any team except Kansas, can beat any other team in the conference on a given day. [/QUOTE]
