Who's your pick in the Big XII this year?

Texas Tech? Oklahoma State? TCU? Someone else?

Kentucky opens the season at TCU. I think Oklahoma State will probably win the Big XVII but I’m selfishly hoping TCU makes a strong run at it.

I expect TCU to be improved from last year

@John Peters Why is that the expectation? They have some significant losses from last season and while I know the recruiting class is highly thought of, that generally takes awhile to play out. What am I missing?

@kathywd77 I like the talent coming in for sure. TCU is losing a lot on the mound, but they had some solid bullpen guys that should compete for rotation spots. They also have two guys coming back from Tommy John. A lot will come down to whether or not they can find a rotation. I don't think they'll be a top ten team, but I could see top 4 in the Big XII.

Oops! I meant Big XII. Don’t see the conference expanding anytime soon.

    CBN Power Rankings

    Discussion 
    I'm not trying to create trouble, but the Power Rankings require some explanation. There are already at least six organizations publishing top 25 rankings and I am in no way opposed to more. I think all of these rankings are trying to rate a teams likelihood of winning in Omaha. Is this what the CBN rankings intend to do or is it trying to rate the teams chance at having the most home runs or slugging percentage? If the latter perhaps we should have fielding and pitching rankings as well. Why not all four. That would be interesting.

    Transfer Portal

    Discussion 
    Who has access to this, is it just college coaches? I find it interesting that NCAA makes women softball portal accessible to all but not mens college baseball. With all the concern for safety and what not, just seems strange they allow the public to have access to the women. Softball America posts the portal on their website (membership required). Has anyone seen the baseball one posted anywhere? Thru 247sports I've seen college football posted, but have not seen basketball. You'd think it would be standard one way or another across the board, again though, we're talking about the NCAA. With the clock turning to 2020 and programs starting back up I'm seeing a few mentions of transfers dribbling in but am curious who else out there I haven't heard transfer.
