Oklahoma State center getting a head start on some heavy action he'll be seeing at Baylor.

You think it was hard to come up with a pecking order for the Big 12 in football for the media poll this summer, well it is a heckuva lot harder now.

Here is a look at how Big 12 teams and the Cowboys non conference opponents are doing in fall camp.

A few teams changed my mind, but I still see the trio of Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma at the top. Kansas may be at the bottom still, but beware of the Jayhawks.

There was pleny of talk about the run just inches short at the end of the Big 12 Championship Game last December. The Bears feel they will build a dynasty off that.

Starting in Arizona with the coaches and athletic directors and running right through last week in Irving, the Big 12 is prepared for 14 members

Andy Staples of The Athletic took a path we've taken before with Pokes Report coming up with his research on how much each school has paid for wins in the decade 2010-19. Amazing!

We'll do this again in July as the teams will likely have added a few more needed pieces, but with spring past the midway point and near finished at some schools, here are our picks.

Everybody is speculating, so why not Pokes Report. Our candidates may surprise you.

Miranda Elish was good again in the circle as the Cowgirls stay unbeaten in Big 12 play with win at Baylor.

Everybody in college football seems to be getting raises. Even coaches that should be closer to getting fired seem to get contract extensions. How do they compare in the Big 12 and where is the value?

Recruiting rankings are interesting and as we can see fluctuate a little. It may surprise some that Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was keeping track, but it doesn't change that he likes his class.

The high school All-American and former Kansas Jayhawk blue chip recruit comes to play for the Pokes in Waco and help OSU beat a No. 1-ranked team on the road for the first time.

Jaylen Warren wanted to play. I can promise he tried everything to get back in the game. When he couldn't nobody wanted to take his place in the end zone more than Dezmon Jackson.

The warning sign really came on Tuesday when the Cowboys put in their first major practice for the Big 12 Championship Game with Baylor. Mike Gundy and the coaching staff discovered how much the Bedlam win took out of their team. The attrition was heavy.

It's a chess match that will go a long way toward deciding the Big 12 Championship Game as two of the five Frank Broyles Award finalist in Oklahoma State's Jim Knowles and Baylor's Jeff Grimes match football wits.

Oklahoma State is one spot ahead of Baylor and three spots behind Oklahoma in the initial CFP rankings. That allows for a path to the top four and the playoff or certainly a New Year's Six game.

Two beautiful blocks in the open where fans could see them. Really meaningful blocks highlight Chapter Six of The Word According to Godlevske
