Overall, the Big 12 is getting stronger, and may well be the toughest conference next year. This year the conference is great at the top (OU, MU, KU, UT) but not so great after that. With DONU improving (I see us winning at least 8 games next year), CU will be tougher as they don't lose many players, TT and aTm will be decent and who knows with OSU and KSU, but that gives the B12 8-10 potential top 25 teams. Though it won't happen because they'll beat each other up a bit, the schedules will be tough, not to mention the way ISU has shown improvement.
