College football fans spend hundreds of millions of hours each season searching for answers to their most pressing questions.
Things like, Which coach is on the college football hot seat? Which teams will make the playoffs? Which player will win the Heisman?
So it's a bit ironic that fans are more happy during the preseason — when there is no actual football and zero answers to countless questions — than during the regular season — when there is endless football and tons of answers to fewer questions.
As shown by rewriting 2016 predictions, preseason predictions are almost always wrong, and accurate predictions would sound ridiculous at the time. With that in mind, what do Big 12 fans think about the 2017 season and some of the conference's more intriguing questions?
Here are 10 questions for Big 12 fans entering the 2017 season:
