2012 Preseason Big 12 Football Media Poll

Yesterday, the Big 12 football conference released their pre-season media poll.  In the table below are the media first place votes, and total votes from the pre-season poll.  Next to that are the wins and losses from last season (including any post-season bowl games).  Finally, the last three columns are the rankings (out of 120 NCAA FBS schools) in terms of the NCAA production model for the team's total production rank, offensive production rank and defensive production rank.

I think I will come back to this at the end of the season and see how well the media (and last years model's ranking) relate to the end of the 2012 season for the Big 12 conference.  Here is the data.  Note that West Virginia (using the NCAA production model) was better than any of the current Big 12 schools (lower 2011 Total means that they were higher ranked in that model than any of the other teams in the Big 12 for this season).  It will be interesting to see how the Mountaineers do playing in a different conference.

School	1st Place Votes	Total Votes		2011 Wins	2011 Loses	2011 Total	2011 Offense	2011 Defense
Oklahoma	32	396		10	3	32	40	31
West Virginia	7	339		10	3	9	4	25
