We unveiled our All-Big 12 team last week with lots of talent.
Time for a new take, with a little help from the Big Ten Blog: The All-Underrated team.
My criteria: The conference's most underrated player at each position. This is, of course, subjective. This isn't for the second-best player at each position. It's for the player who doesn't get enough respect. The only rule: He can't be on my All-Big 12 team.
