Its that time of year again, where the experts across the nation submit their picks on who is winning each conference and playoff predictions, some bold and some predictable.

On Thursday, ESPN's Joey Galloway picked unranked Baylor to win the Big 12.

Galloway believes that, "Matt Rhule makes Baylor a much better defensive football team."

Although not the most outrageous prediction, it still comes as a surprise. There are five preseason top 25 ranked teams in the Big 12 Conference, including Oklahoma in the top ten, while Baylor is unranked.

Baylor is favored in seven of its 12 games this upcoming season, according to ESPN's Football Power Index.
