Texas a Top 10 Team?

Somehow, despite the fact the the Big 12 boasts three Top 10 teams and four Top 15 teams, they've still got bad conference rap.
You can call them top heavy, but a quarter of the conference's teams are in the Top 15. That's pretty impressive.
Don't blame ABC's Craig James for the negative reputation. He has four Big 12 teams in his Top 10, including Texas.
It's a pretty interesting ballot he filled out — Oklahoma No. 3, Alabama No. 12 — but it's not too ridiculous.

But don't worry, if you think Texas shouldn't be ranked that high, guys like Austin Ward from the Casper Wyo., Start-Tribune help even things out. He's got the Longhorns No. 25.
His Top 3 are Arizona State, Boston College, and then Ohio State, and I get the feeling he's not ranking his top 25 teams as much as he's trying to correct for perceived mistakes among his fellow voters.
I don't get into critiquing voters' selections much — if they all had the same opinions the poll would be pointless — but his ballot is pretty bad.
