Sooners, Tigers tabbed to repeat in Big XII

The Big XII media has voted and -- since the media is always right, right? -- picked the Missouri Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners to repeat as divisional champs in the Big XII conference this year.

Missouri was the unanimous choice of 51 voters to win the North Division. And Oklahoma, which will be gunning for its record third-straight conference title, was the choice of 49 of the 51 voters. Texas received the other two first-place votes in the South Division.

The balloting was:

North
1. Missouri (51) 306
2. Kansas 234
3. Nebraska 183
4. Colorado 181
5. Kansas State 108
6. Iowa State 59

South
1. Oklahoma (49) 304
2. Texas (2) 230
3. Texas Tech 227
4. Oklahoma State 140
5. Texas A&M 118
6. Baylor 52
First-place votes in parentheses

ESPN blogger Tim Griffin -- who doesn't seem to link us enough, don't you think?? -- refuses to kiss and tell, so we'll just have to wonder who are the two guys that think the Horns are going to win the South.

Here's a hint: They aren't from the Daily Oklahoman.
