- On3's Andy Staples joins Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo to talk about the chaos coming to the Big 12 during the 2024 college football season, the Four Corner schools joining this summer, Deion Sanders' appeal, and why a future Big 12-ACC merger might be something worth watching down the road.

Really underwhelmed with the Colorado coordinators. Six wins this year would be what I would hope for. I don't understand how they can be considered a contender. Can anyone tell me why their new Offensive Coordinator-a guy Minnesota refused to renew-should generate such realistic hopes. If it were any other team looking to start an all new offensive line, would they be considered a contender? I like Deion Sanders. I just don't like last year's hype machine. Someone tell me what I'm missing please.
All fair points, but an offensive line can gel, there is talent there, and obvious immense talent around the skill positions. Schedule isn't too bad either. But yes, a lot has to fall right into place.
Would love to see ya on the forums my man! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
They have a bunch of nfl guys on their staff. There offensive coordinator was an nfl head coach. Warren sapp is helping with the defensive line
They have upgraded the talent this year. It’s not even close to last year. Last year was a bandaid for 1 win team
@@wayne9635 Thanks. I was misinformed. It will be an interesting season.
@@heartlandcollegesports Yes, a line "can" gel, but it usually takes time for communication to reach the necessary level, and switching often means chemistry is unlikely to play a factor, which can make a significant difference...or if not recruiting for chemistry, you may end up with players who actively dislike each other playing side by side. As Andy Staples pointed out, this approach is very hit or miss depending on how lucky you get. What he didn't mention is that without the chemistry/culture factor, a little dissension can go a long way, and a season can go in the toilet in a hurry.
Mountaineers gonna finally win the Big XII championship this yr, and get our 16th overall conference championship!!... Hopefully... 🙏🤣 LETS GOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS 👏👏 🏈🏀🇺🇸
You joke but I have either them or UCF vs Utah or OkSt in the conference championship game. I have WVU going 11-2 or 10-3. And either WVU is runner up or wins the conference this year.
@@michaelwall3393 not joking, I'm right there with ya!! I have WVU vs Utah, with WVU hopefully getting their revenge from the last meeting!! LET'S GOOOO MOUNTAINEERS 👏👏🏈🏀🇺🇸
They will be in the MIX but the schedule is brutal!
@@heartlandcollegesports People said the same thing about the WVU schedule last season. And when you get down to it, every team should want a tough schedule. The best want the best, and a team has to be good enough to beat the schedule as well if necessary.
Funniest thing I’ve heard in months. Thx for posting.
19:18 I want to see Mike Gundy in a playoff game. I think that Okie State is the team that would be the first Big 12 playoff championship team.
So you're saying they'll win the Big 12 this year or...?
Why would you think that? They haven't shown ANY indication that they're worthy of all this praise. The only teams that have shown this would be Utah, TCU, Kansas State and maybe Baylor.
Ksu and utah going 10 and 4 losing big 6 bowl. Osu got screwed in 2011. 2021 lost by a foot. Both years wins their big 6 bowl. Osu beat 3 top 10 teams. That's more then utah faced in 4 out their last 6 years as just ranked teams. Pac 12 had only 2 finish ranked most years.
As far as the conference with the most parity goes, the big 12 is definitely up there but I think the sun belt would have something to say about that.
But, who cares about the Sunbelt?
@@roberthenry9319 Thank you for saying it, Robert! So we don't have to :-)
BTW, hope you will check out our forums! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
Big 12 and ACC won’t merge, because the Big 12 is worth way more than the ACC without FSU
But the sum of their total parts may be worth more together than separate!
@@heartlandcollegesports The sum of all of our parts is pretty much worth more together than separate.
@@heartlandcollegesports Just don't see the Big12 wanting anything to do with the lower half of the ACC. The Big12 is trying to close the gap between them and the BIG/SEC and Syracuse, Wake, BC, CAL, Stanford, and SMU bring the value down, not up.
Chaos in the conference, because it’s the “Mayhem Conference/12/16” by Allstate.
Very nice
I see what you did there... and we dig it!
The bottom line is that no one has any idea whatsoever what is going to happen, who is going to leave and who is going to stay, and who winners or losers will be. So it's all pretty much a useless exercise in futility. It is kind of fun though.
I would say that "useless exercise in futility" is a bit redundant, but "kind of fun" pretty much counters the "useless" part. If we predict enough different things, we have a good chance of being able to claim that we were right later. Besides, it keeps the mind limber when you try to see how many ifs you can juggle at once.
@@WVUFootballGoinDeep The whole point of it is for the FUN, with hopefully decent analysis to go along with it!
BTW we need some more WVU love on the forums! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
@@heartlandcollegesports I'd say if doing decent analysis isn't fun, then you shouldn't be in the game, but I agree with Edwards Deming that quality is the beginning point, the assumption, not something you hope happens after the fun. And I need more love on my WVU channel www.youtube.com/@WVUFootballGoinDeep/videos
I love this analysis as an Arizona fan. We should have 3 first round NFL picks this season (T=Mac, Davis, Jonah). And we may have the best LB in the conference (Jacob Manu). I am not saying that Arizona doesn't have weaknesses. With Jacory Crokskey-Merritt and Kedrick Reescano the UA offense is formidable. Analysts need to adjust. With the portal, you need to adjust. You have to adjust to late commits.
I believe Arizona will be very good this year. And probably not so much in the future. Arizona has really good coaches, but probably won't sustain the momentum.
Whether or not they can sustain momentum may depend on whether or not they can build enough momentum, but sustaining it does depend a lot on the coaches and how they recruit. AZ should be good, but I think all the new teams will find the weekly grind is harder overall in the Big 12, which is a big part of why it should be so entertaining for fans week to week....and not just one game per week but almost every game.
How is the depth? That's what I am curious on as a Big 12 guy...
Plus we have NO arizona love on our message boards and we need some of that! Join us! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
@@heartlandcollegesports I can write a book on the team since I follow it closely. I didn't want too far into it. But since you asked.
The biggest problem is backup QB.
Offense -
Major drop-off if Fitita gets injured. Backup QBs are not ready. UA has a good OL, Jonah, Moe, Baker are experienced and all could make the NFL. The starting OL is good, depth us untested. Arizona has a really good RB core. Jacory Merritt, Kedrick Reescano, Quali Conley are very good. As far as WR, other than T-Mac, look for Malachi Riley. We are going to run a double TE offense. Most TE players are untested, but the quality is there. Other than backup QB, the offense is set.
Defense -
Other than CB Tacario Davis and LB Jacob Manu, there are other players you should know about in the secondary. The safeties are Dalton Johnson and Gunner Maldonado. The star is Treydan Stukes. All are experienced, all are vevy good. And they are likely to get drafted. We have a good backup in Genesis Smith. What we don't have is a P4 level 2nd corner. Losing Prysock to Washington hurt. Stukes may have to move to CB and Smith move to star. We are also untested with our 2nd LB. That could be a problem.
The DL is good. But we did lose a lot. Getting transfer Kevon Darton from Syracuse helped. Lost a really good DE due to graduation. There is depth, and experience, but how good they are is yet to be determined.
The rest -
We have an NFL placekicker in Tyler Loop. But, not sure who is going to to the punting. The coaching staff is way underrated. The OC, Dino Babers, was HC at Syracuse, and was OC for Arizona in the 90s. Duane Akina was DC for Arizona during the 90s, and was DC for the Desert Swarm team. He coached 3 Jim Thorpe winners at DB (Daryl Lewis, Michael Huff, Aaron Ross). He says the defense is going to be more aggressive this season.
Can't wait for the season to begin. I appreciate the enthusiasm of opposing teams' fans. I expect making the CFP, unless Fifita gets injured. Our ceiling is the semi-finals, but that means everything has to go right.
I can't wait for the season to start. I am really looking forward to the away games at Kansas State and Utah. Those games are going to put everything into perspective.
@@susanbrynt Fantastic insight, thank you! Hope to see you on the forums!
The year before last Colorado only won one game and the scores weren’t even close
That's true... but it's a totally different program today.
It's going to come down to Utah and Iowa State
GOOD take and not a shocker if it happens. Need those takes on our HCS forums too! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
Congrats on the big name guests lately Pete well deserved and can’t wait for the season. Let’s get at least 2 B12 teams in the playoffs this year. Go Utes!!
Thank you for watching and there are more to come!!
He had to flip a whole roster as fast as he could with whatever he could get
K-State all the way. Klieman is recruiting good players and developing them well. He also knows how to prepare for playoffs…
somehow you forgot the Jayhawks when you counted the contenders. :)
10:42 Don't believe this. Andy is propaganda. The Big 10 doesn't have ESPN. OU and UT had to go from the Big 12 to the SEC because both have ESPN. FSU and Clemson will be on the Big 12's doorstep. Trust and believe.
"Trust and believe"? Trust and believe what?
Big XII not only has ESPN but also FOX...OUUT in one basket
No Kansas lol you don’t pick Kansas for CFP I AM GLAD WE WILL PROVE IT ON THE FIELD
Yep, brain fart there.. it happens!!! Wasn't intentional.
Maybe no strife at administrative level, but Sanders is nothing but strife.
Forgot Kansas lol
Could've sworn we said it, but obviously didn't even though we talked about them being a contender earlier in the conversation!
Not worth it to merge
Take one: 'We're the SEC of NCAA basketball '. Take two: 'We are America's conference'. Take three: 'We own Thursday and Friday nights'. Take four: We're the most competitive conference'. (Because we're all equally mid). I've caught fish in the Gulf of Mexico that didn't flounder this much. 😂😂😂
WHAT IF... all the above are true? And why aren't you hyper-focused on the SEC by now!!!
@@heartlandcollegesportsBecause we are still the major funding source for you degenerates until July first.
@@heartlandcollegesportsI'll make you a deal since you delete responses that hurt your snowflake feelings. Take our sign off that disgusting wall and I'll go away FOREVER!
@@heartlandcollegesports He's not hyper focused on the SEC because he'd rather make fun of other people, I'd guess. It's often easier.
"Kansas fans feel the same way."
Andy Staples shut Petey down when tried to talk smack about Utah fans wanting to be in the B1G. He moved right along, how pathetic.
Petey is a clown 🤡
Huh??? I don't think he did. And I prefaced by saying "with all due respect!" Nothing but love for the Utah fans, especially those who are on our forums and have been awesome! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
@@heartlandcollegesports There is a difference between "thinking" and knowing.
Pete if Colorado wins 6 games I’ll donate $1,000 to a charity if your choice.
You can country but don’t care one way or another. To hype CU is and I’ll be polite, a complete hoot.
Should I hold you to this? WE have some great charities we support!!
@@heartlandcollegesports absolutely and I’ll be proud to write the check in your honor. 👊🤙
But if Colorado doesn’t get to 6 wins. You must say on your great show “Kim was right and sadly I was wrong.”
👊👊🤙
@@heartlandcollegesports Pete ask our mutual friend (@365) if I’m a person who keeps his word. 👊👊🤙
I think CO "could" win more if they don't encounter hard times. I think locker room problems could tear them apart in a hurry if certain types of adversity hit, and adversity can wipe out a team that doesn't have the right chemistry.
@@kimcoulter806 OK... who is our mutual friend?!
Ya’ll rattled off about 10 teams and you evidently think they’re all better than Kansas? No mention. Laughable.
That was a mistake if we didn't mention them. There are too many. Sorry @Paulhighstrom2016! Get on the HCS forums my man! www.heartlandcollegesports.com/members-forum/
How could they forget you guys?? I would have mentioned KU 4th or 5fb
