WARNING: The Big 12 Is Getting Disrespected on Every National List | BIG 12 Squad

Big 12 fans react to being snubbed in All-American selections—are punters really the conference’s only claim to national respect? Heated debate erupts as Baylor’s punter lands first-team honors, while standout names like LJ Martin, Connor Wegman, and Noah Fifita are overlooked. Is the lack of Big 12 representation a warning sign or just preseason noise? Jake Hatch, Philip Mulford, and the rest of the BIG 12 Squad break down AP Top 25 disrespect, question why only Texas Tech, BYU, and Utah crack Josh Pate’s projected preseason poll, and argue the merits of Houston and Arizona State’s revamped rosters. The conversation spotlights star players like Bear Bachmeyer and tackles whether coaching changes at Utah and Texas Tech should impact rankings. With playful banter on best player names and conference identity, the Big 12 squad asks: does the national media misjudge America’s Conference, and who’s the true dark horse heading into the season?
