The Big 12 released its preseason All-Big 12 team and preseason awards on Wednesday. Here they are, including all of the first-teamers.
I'll reveal my personal ballot later this month, and have a few thoughts on the guys who did make it when I return from vacation on Monday.
Trust me, I have a lot. (Biggest snub of anyone: Texas cornerback Carrington Byndom. Complete travesty.) Plenty more where that came from. Come back next week.
Offensive Player of the Year: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
Defensive Player of the Year: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
Newcomer of the Year: Trey Metoyer, WR, Oklahoma
