Tom Bragg: Let’s take a crack at some Big 12 football predictions
August 30, 2019 by Tom Bragg
A few weeks ago, sometime after the start of preseason camp, I sat down and — I can’t stress this enough — just for fun — I picked every game for every Big 12 football team this season on a scrap piece of notebook paper. Looking back now, I still feel pretty good about these picks (with the exception of the Texas Tech/Arizona game — yikes). I mentioned these on the debut episode of our new podcast and said I would post them to the blog, so here they are.
Again, these were made for no other reason than I was bored during preseason camp. Standard rules apply — if I’m wrong let’s never speak of them again, and if I’m right expect me to gloat.
