Filemon in College Station, Texas asked: Who would you consider the top three darkhorses in the big12-2 for the 2011 football season? Assuming UT 2010 was only a minor blip..
DU: Well, I think it's pretty clear that OU, OSU and A&M are the favorites. My dark horses? Missouri, Texas and the darkest horse of them all: Kansas State.

Origin
This was originally horse racing parlance. A dark horse was one that wasn't known to the punters and was difficult to place odds on. The figurative use later spread to other fields and has come to apply to anyone who comes under scrutiny but is previously little known.
Benjamin Disraeli provides the earliest known reference to the phrase in The Young Duke, 1831:
"A dark horse, which had never been thought of ... rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph."
The figurative use seems first to have been taken up when referring to the candidates for academic preferment:
The Saturday Review, 1860 - "A Headship ... often given by the College conclaves to a man who has judiciously kept himself dark."
Sketches from Cambridge, 1865 - "Every now and then a dark horse is heard of, who is supposed to have done wonders at some obscure small college."

Not many of our opponents' punters knew anything about our team last year.
This works.

2. K-State's defense may evolve into a force this season. They're not there yet, but look out. The Wildcats were probably the slowest defense in the Big 12 last season, but it's amazing what the addition of Arthur Brown, Nigel Malone and the maturation of playmaker David Garrett will do for growth from year-to-year. I'm not jumping on board the K-State bandwagon yet, but I said before the season this team had a lot of potential. LHC Bill Snyder looks like he's squeezing it out of them so far.

Are you guys on board the K-State bandwagon yet? Four consecutive weeks of being outgained and playing as underdogs. Four weeks of wins and Kansas State is 6-0 with a road game against Kansas standing between it and a mammoth showdown with Oklahoma in two weeks. The Wildcats are the antithesis to the Big 12 chuck-and-duck offense, taking their time and focusing on controlling the ball. Despite running 31 fewer plays than Texas Tech, the Wildcats had the ball for seven more minutes. LHC Bill Snyder's teams slowly squeeze you, then take advantage of opportunities. Texas Tech provided them with three fourth-quarter turnovers. Seth Doege had just one interception all season to 17 touchdowns. K-State picked him off three times. And ... here we are. Respect this team, or else.
