They have 3 of the top 10 players in the league.

As part of “College Football Live’s” 100 Days Till Kickoff countdown, here’s a look at the top 10 players in the Big 12.

Note: This is a separate list from our preseason top 25 players. We'll tackle that later. It might be a lot different. It might be much of the same.

1. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Geno's a newcomer to the Big 12, but putting up big numbers is nothing new for the senior, who threw for 4,385 yards last season. Only one quarterback threw for more, but Smith had two more touchdown passes and eight fewer interceptions than the No. 2 quarterback on this list. Smith also completed nearly 3 percent more of his passes.

2. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma: Jones checks in at No. 2 as the Big 12's leading returning passer, and will try to climb back in 2012 to give the Sooners another Big 12 title. Jones is the Big 12's most experienced quarterback, which should pay off the fall.

3. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State: Klein was the league's No. 4 rusher and threw for 1,900 yards? You can't argue with that production, and Klein accounted for 69.8 percent of the Wildcats' offense. That's insane. His importance to K-State can't be understated.

4. Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: Austin's the most dangerous playmaker in the Big 12, a true triple threat as a receiver, runner and kick/punt returner. He's the Big 12's No. 2 returning receiver, but he also returned two kicks for touchdowns in 2011, joining two other Big 12 returners who duplicated that feat last season.

5. Jake Knott, LB, Iowa State: Knott was outplayed by teammate A.J. Klein last season, but not by much. Knott was also playing through injuries. He's a superior talent, and like Klein, there's no arguing with his production. He's made 244 tackles in the past two seasons.

6. Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State: Randle is the Big 12's leading returning rusher and should see an increased workload from his 208 carries last season. He turned those into 24 touchdowns to come three short of the Big 12 record.

7. Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State: Brown's one of the league's most impressive freak athletes, a cruise missile of a linebacker who doesn't miss tackles in the open field and gets there faster than any true linebacker in the league. (You nickelbacks don't count.)

8. Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: Vaccaro's the most versatile talent on a loaded Texas defense, and as a roaming nickelback, offenses must account for where he is on every snap. He's also got a case as the hardest hitter in the Big 12.

9. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Texas: Who has two last names and is the Big 12's returning sack leader? This guy. His 8.5 sacks were 1.5 more than any other returner in the Big 12, and he made four more tackles for loss (17) than any other returner, too.

10. Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia: Bailey's a more traditional receiver in WVU's offense and he's taken advantage. He's the league's leading returning receiver and offers the Mountaineers a steady, dangerous target with sure hands who will help make WVU arguably the league's most dangerous offense.

Nice Godsmack, though. Now we're Judas? Wow.

Is Wickedson your son? Or daughter, perhaps?

One nut, thank you very much. Cancer free for almost 29 years now. 3 kids later, no sign of shriveling up, although I think I passed another kidney stone this morning.

No relation to Wickedson, but he has just as much right to voice his opinion as anyone on this board.

I've been using the "30 pieces of silver" line for months now. Welcome to the show.

And, yes, I do delete my comments from time to time. I sometimes write things in anger that, upon reflection, retract. Some people have no reservation about coming across as unrepentant assholes. I'd prefer to be thought of as a repentant asshole.

Sorry, but I really don't give a shit about your nuts, your kids or your kidney stones. And since I generally pay little attention to your drivel and have never posted in or rarely bother to open the current KU football thread, yesterday was the first time I saw the Judas bit. But if it makes you feel better, I sure it was just as ****ing stupid every other time you posted it.

Hope this clears things up for you.

PGM for future reference if you're going to be in the SEC, you never give any other conference any praise. Learn or GTFO.

Bullshit. The Big XII runs show.

You're the one that brought up my nuts, dumbass. Maybe you should go back and delete that comment and revise your own history. Hypocrite.

And you're the one throwing a hissy fit over it. I think I'll leave it.

Got it - if you refute Tim by pointing out the flaw in his statement, you're throwing a hissy fit. Don't expect him to admit it when he makes the mistake.

Man up for a change.

I don't listen to Tebow nuthuggers posing as a Jacksonville Jaguar fan on a Chiefs board. Sorry.

A flaw in my statement? Do you think I knew you've got one nut? Do you think I care? Yeah, I hired a private detective to raid your doctor's office to find incriminating evidence about your testicles, and laid in wait for you to take a pot shot at me over Wickedson before deliberately posting about them to be extra mean. That's the ticket.

Of course, now everybody knows you've got one nut because you reacted like a hypersensitive little girl to a simple figure of speech.

That's fine. You'll learn your place. The consecutive losing records will take that broke dick stupidity out of your system.

You made the crack about nuts in one of your tiresome attempts to be cute. I corrected you, because I could and the fact that I'm proud to have beaten cancer. You then went on a little tirade, crossed your arms, put on your little pouty face and said "I don't care, harrumph". You can be such a whiny little bitch sometimes.

Get over yourself, dude. The schtick is tired. Man up, grow up, hire a writer for your comedy bits. You make Carlos Mencia look original.
