BearsIllustrated predicts Big 12 Conference rankings
UCF: 9-3 (6-3) Oklahoma State: 8-4 (5-4) Arizona State: 2-10 (1-8) Like many, I viewed Kansas State and Utah in their own tier when it comes to Big 12 programs over the offseason. Simply put, it's hard to imagine anyone putting out a more sound offense than what Avery Johnson and the Wildcats are putting out this year, but I'm willing to see how any kind of improvements from a 25-year-old Cam Rising impact the Utes. As you can tell by my rankings, I think the conference will ultimately be pretty top heavy. I have Iowa State, Kansas and UCF all holding strong with 6 conference wins, but my guess is that the talent gap between them and the top three teams will be evident early in the season.

It's back to school season and while some Texas students will be attending classrooms built in brand new schools, other students will be learning in buildings that are older. Texas has some very old, historic schools. Some of the oldest schools in Texas date back to the 1870's and they have character and history. Of course, all elementary schools have classrooms, playgrounds, and a cafeteria. But one Texas elementary school has something much different in addition to those rooms.
Watch: People Seek Shelter From Tornado in Texas Target
When fleeing from a tornado, you have to do whatever it takes to get to shelter. Ideally, it would be an actual tornado shelter, but a big box store is better than nothing.
