Preseason polls (Blogpoll excepted) are pretty much the most inane thing about the college game, but they give the fans of the undeserving preseason accolades something to hope for and day dream about over the long hot summer. Not so for the perennially crappy football schools like Baylor and Kansas. Once again, the media has been unkind to the fans of these two institutions, crushing whatever daydreams they may otherwise have enjoyed this summer, by resoundingly picking them to finish last in the Big 12 South and North, respectively. We think this aspect of the preseason prognostication might actually work out for the media voters... its the other end of the spectrum that usually does not. In this case, Colorado and Texas (I hear Sooner fans gasping as I type) have been picked to finish atop the Big 12.
Most members of the media agree... Baylor is not very intimidating
