Interesting to see only three teams represented from the North, Nebraska and Kansas with two players, and Missouri with one. I would have liked to see how many more points Big Suh had over Oklahoma's DT Gerald McCoy for Defensive Player of the Year in the Big XII. That had to have been close.

By tonight or tomorrow I will have the second installment of Nebraska's 2009 team preview. Until then, drink some sweet tea (or other hydrating beverage of choice) and stay indoors!
