[Husker] Huskers Picked Third In North

[Mike Jaixen]

The media poll for Big XII football poll has been released.

2008 Big 12 Preseason Football Poll (Media Vote)

North
1. Missouri (51) 306
2. Kansas 234
3. Nebraska 183
4. Colorado 181
5. Kansas State 108
6. Iowa State 59

South
1. Oklahoma (49) 304
2. Texas (2) 230
3. Texas Tech 227
4. Oklahoma State 140
5. Texas A&M 118
6. Baylor 52

(First-place votes in parentheses)

No surprise that Missouri was a unanimous pick in the North.  The difference between Tech and UT is so small that it's obvious that many people voted Texas third in the South.  (Which makes you wonder about the two voters who put Texas #1...)  And with 51 voters...looks like only one voter thought that Baylor would break out of the cellar.
