Lee Hunter, who spent three seasons with the Knights, had a reunion with his former teammates at this week’s Big 12 Media Days.

The Big 12's crusade to change the narrative might not be done. Klieman revealed to CBS Sports he is privately advocating for the abolition of preseason voting in the AP and Coaches polls, a practice that began in 1950. He said conversations are underway among coaches in the Big 12 and the American Football Coaches Association.

Here is what you need to know from the Big 12 football media days at The Star in Frisco, Texas, as commissioner Brett Yormark took a pointed stance.

Utah, projected to win the conference, finished 13th. Oklahoma State, picked third, finished last. Arizona State, slotted for last, won the whole shebang. All in all, the difference between each team’s preseason poll position and its end-of-season finish was 7.3 spots, on average.

Two Colorado Buffaloes football players, Jordan Seaton and DJ McKinney, were named to the preseason All-Big 12 team. Seaton, an offensive tackle, earned All-American honors as a freshman and was named a preseason Walter Camp All-American.
