Big 12 Media Days are in the books, and Ryan Welton and Jeremy Cook have plenty to unpack.

The conversation begins with the controversy surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, Brett Yormark's handling of repeated questions from reporters, and why the Big 12 found itself at the center of one of the week's biggest stories.

From there, the focus shifts to Oklahoma State.

Jeremy explains why Eric Morris' approach to rebuilding the Cowboys goes far beyond X's and O's, including the team-building exercises that are already changing the program's culture. Ryan makes the case that Oklahoma State may be one of the most underrated teams in the conference—and perhaps even a sleeper for the expanded College Football Playoff.
