Zona ties up ASU making my vote irrelevant; however, Mizzou and Washington remain tied at 4 with Oklahoma just behind. Since I voted for neither, I'm going to use my vote to make it Mizzou until someone breaks that. Washington U took the lead. I'm quite surprised by the number of non-sports fan participants.

Doesn't feel like there are a ton of options here, but there are somehow three Big 12 schools in that bunch plus the ever improving SMU. Lots of popular college towns though in the state.



Pretty strong dislike for most of these schools but a couple stand out
[1] Baylor - WACO. Glad they are finally relevant and not just big time by association with Austin/TTU
[2] Abilene
--
[3] UTA
--
[4] Dallas Baptist
[5] SMU
--
[6] UNT
[7] TCU
[8] Tech

Very tough choice for me. Came down to University North Texas, Southern Methodist University (I almost went to both of those), and University of Texas-Arlington.

I went with UTA because I just spent the last fall partially organizing on campus and grew to really like it.

Baylor, because...

1. Oldest university in Texas

2. More Texas governors as alumni than any other school, including The Lady herself

3. Dr Pepper...everywhere

4. Our football team's never ending supply of uniforms make us the Oregon of the Big 12
