I misspoke earlier. The preseason poll comes out tomorrow, which means the preseason all-conference team came out today.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty is the preseason offensive player of the year, TCU defensive end Devonte Fields, who took a medical redshirt last season, is the somewhat surprising preseason defensive player of the year, and Oklahoma State’s speedy receiver Tyreek Hill is the preseason newcomer of the year. Charles Sims won that award last season.

A year after having no one on the preseason all-conference team, the Mountaineers managed but one this year in safety Karl Joseph.

Petty was of seven players on the all-conference team. That led the league. Kansas State had five, Oklahoma four, TCU and Texas three and WVU, Kansas, Iowa State and Texas Tech one. Oklahoma State, believe it or not, had none.
