Another wide open Big 12 Conference football race begins in a few days and I have my picks for the season and how the teams will finish the year in a few months.\u00a0 I have Oklahoma losing to Nebraska and Texas but should be good enough at the end of the season to win the Title game in the Big 12. Baylor and Oklahoma State will fight\u00a0 it out for 2nd and either will be tough enough to beat OU in December but I would not bet on it.\u00a0 Following is my pre-season Top 25.
