The college baseball season got started last weekend with all nine Big 12 schools who have baseball programs in action.
↵Three conference teams (Texas, Texas A&M and Kansas) opened their 2012 season sweeping their three games last weekend. Texas and Texas A&M tied for the conference regular-season title last season and are both expected to be prime contenders this season. Kansas, meanwhile, finished in the cellar in the league standings a year ago, with an overall record of 26-30 and 9-18, the exact opposite of the Aggies and Longhorns, in Big 12 play.
↵Overall, Big 12 teams went 18-10 in their opening weekend, and 37 more games are scheduled for this weekend. Baylor, Texas and Texas Tech have games against ranked opponents.
↵Four teams from the conference are ranked in the top 25 in the country in the national college baseball polls this week. Texas A&M ranks in the top ten in all four of the polls; Texas' highest ranking is seventh by Collegiate Baseball; Oklahoma ranks as high as No. 17, and Baylor is No, 25 in the Baseball America poll.
