BIG 12 OUTLOOK: 02.12.12
Once again, this is quite late due to my schedule being knocked out of whack. Still, I feel compelled to post it in the interest of transparency, rather than skipping it entirely. All calculations were made prior to Saturday's games. <!-- BEGIN WIDGET --> Big 12 Conference Standings (updated...
