"Much Too Early for a Prediction" Prediction - Guessing the 2010-11 Big 12 Standings

With apologies to Boulder radio station KBCO and their "Much Too Early for a Question Question," I present the "Much Too Early for a Prediction" Prediction.

As I see it, there are three distinct tiers heading into the 2010-11 Big 12 basketball season. The upper tier should DESTROY the lower tier, and the middle tier will put on a good show against the upper tier, stealing a game or two but losing the majority.

With that said, considering all departures, signings and returning players, here's how the Big 12 will shake out.

1. Kansas St. Wildcats
2. Missouri Tigers
3. Kansas Jayhawks
4. Baylor Bears
5. Texas Longhorns
6. Colorado Buffaloes
7. Texas A&M Aggies
8. Oklahoma St Cowboys
9. Texas Tech Red Raiders
10. Oklahoma Sooners
11. Iowa St. Cyclones
12. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Thoughts?
