We continue our conference preview series with a zoomed out look at the Big 12, arguably the most interesting league in all of college football. How does the loss of Texas and Oklahoma impact how we (and others) view the conference? Where do Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Arizona State rank relative to their new conference-mates? What do our power tiers look like, ranging from Contenders to the teams that need to focus on improvement? And the Brett Yormark-ification of the Big 12 quietly a good thing?

We close out our three-part deep dive of the ACC by examining the grouping of NC State, Louisville and Virginia Tech, all of which have been trendy picks this preseason to make a run at the conference. How close is each to being a serious contender? Plus, a discussion about what makes Georgia Tech, Boston College and UNC plucky, an optimistic view of Virginia, the state of affairs as Manny Diaz takes over at Duke, and a whole host of open questions about the direction of Wake Forest.
