My Darkhorse Prediction of Winner of the Big 12: Nebraska

Nebraska Cornhuskers LogoI guess it isn't much of a darkhorse prediction when the team is ranked #9 in the preseason poll. However, when the team hasn't finished higher than #14 since 2001 especially when they finished in the top 20 an astonishing 33 years in a row from 1969 to 2001 it is a little bit of a leap. Texas and Oklahoma have dominated the Big 12 in the 2000's. I think Nebraska will be the team that finishes on top this season and here's why. The team finished 10-4 last season, their best season since 2003. 9 starters return on offense including quarterback Zach Lee. 6 starters return on defense. I think head coach Tom Osborne has what it takes to lead the Cornhuskers to the Big 12 title.
