North
1. Nebraska (Although I can see their schedule hurting them enough to knock them out of first)
2. Kansas State
3. Kansas(ku is MUCH better like it or not. Their team will be tough to beat in every game they play in. But don't expect Mangino to just jump into competing for the division when he's never even gone .500 in conference, especially considering his road record. Still, looking at their schedule they could overthrow KSU for the 2 spot.)
4. Missouri(Their offense is good. Their defense is bad. You can't have a good season when you have to score 40+ every game to win. They will be exposed like Iowa State was last year. Pinkel is put on the hotseat...again.)
5. Colorado(Better than last year. 6 wins would be a good season. Can they do it? Probably not, but it's something to shoot for.)
6. Iowa State(Ouch. Just ouch. 2 wins will be an accomplishment.)
South
1. Oklahoma (And it's not close. At all. This is possibly Stoops best collection of talent ever, and knowing what he's accomplished with less is very scary.)
2. Texas A&M (Yeah I'm calling it. TAMU is good. McGee is good. Their running game is good. Their defense isn't great but good enough to win some games this year. Fresno was ugly but I don't expect that to be a trend.)
3. Texas (Not sure what happened, but they just look bad. McCoy hasn't been the same since we played them last year. They stumble in a few games, winning some narrow ones, and losing some they have no business losing. A&M beats them @ Kyle)
4. Texas Tech (Tough call here. Tempted to put Oklahoma State but they've looked less than stellar this year, which is hard to understand. Leach's style always puts a lot of points on the board, and they're never truly out of any game. Harrel will just get better as time goes on.)
5. Oklahoma State (What can I say? They have the talent to be a good team, but I don't like what I've seen so far from them. If they play up to their ability they can move up as far as the #2 spot, but until they show a pulse against a non cupcake I just can't put them higher than teams who have already played and beaten solid teams.)
6. Baylor (Ouch. Just painful. I pity Guy. He's a good coach that ended up at a cruddy program that doesn't support him. He's had his share of bad luck on top of all that.)

3 through 5 in the South are up for grabs.

I honestly don't see MU in the race for the north. They have not showed that they can stop a decent at best offense. Just look at the ridiculous amount of yards they are giving up to the likes of Illinois and Ole Miss. Hell, Illinois had a tough time against E. Illinois last week. I have a felling they will be shocked by Kansas, Nebraska, CU, and KSU. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up like this:
NU
ku
KSU
CU
MU
ISU
As for the South, OU is going to steamroll. Their Defense is stingy as hell and their offense is ridiculous.
