Tiering the Big 12 - Quarterbacks
West By Pod is most of the way through our Big 12 deep dive series. Let's sift through what we've learned and see if we can establish some sort of positional hierarchy across the conference.
Tier 1 - The Deep State
Spencer Sanders - Oklahoma State
I don't think of Sanders as an elite talent, but I do consider him an elite game manager. He's always been a threat in the designed running game, and last year he cut his turnover worthy play rate in half and wound up leading his team to the Big 12 title game. As the best returning quarterback and possibly the lone known known in the conference, he gets the nod here over some guys who may have a higher ceiling.
Tier 2 - Impact Transfers
