Oklahoma and Oklahoma State found themselves voted near the top of the conference in the Preseason Big 12 Media Poll released on Thursday. As expected the pair were ranked just below 2014 co-champions TCU and Baylor. TCU was picked for the first time as the favorite to win the conference in the poll, voted on by media representatives who cover the league.

The Horned Frogs garnered 32 of 42 first-place votes and totaled 408 points while Baylor received the other 10 first-place nods and 384 points.

Oklahoma was chosen third, followed by Oklahoma State in fourth and Texas in fifth to round out the top five. West Virginia placed sixth with K-State seventh, Texas Tech eighth, Iowa State ninth and Kansas in 10th.

TCU returns 17 total starters with 10 on offense, five on defense and two specialists. Among the returners is senior quarterback Trevone Boykin who was named Preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year after earning the honor at the conclusion of the 2014 season.

Head coaches and selected student-athletes will converge in Dallas from July 20-21 for the annual Big 12 Football Media Days. Both days will be televised live from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. CT nationally on FOX Sports 2 and on FOX Sports Regional Networks, including FOX Sports Southwest, FOX Sports Oklahoma, FOX Sports Midwest and FOX Sports Kansas City.
