This is the second installment of the 2009 Big 12 Roundtable, a weekly feature during the season. Each week, an SB Nation Big 12 blogger will host the Roundtable and submit a series of questions to all Big 12 bloggers. This week, the Roundtable is being hosted by Rock M Nation. Listed below are I Am The 12th Man's answers.

1. A solid 10-2 showing for the Big 12 this weekend. Which of these wins was biggest for the Big 12 and why?

I'm sure most people will point to Oklahoma State's win over Georgia as a key win, and while I must admit it was nice to shut up the ESS-EEE-SEE lemmings for one week, I don't think that victory counts as the most significant for the conference. I may sound like I am tooting our own horn here, but I actually thnk the most significant wins for the conference last weekend were Baylor over Wake Forest and A&M over New Mexico. Baylor's win over a solid ACC team shows that they are to be taken seriously, that signs of progress in their program last season were not a fluke, and that they may very well be a bowl contendor this season. A&M's win over New Mexico shows that they are taking steps in the right direction under Sherman, and that they are improving as a team. Both of these wins are significant because these are the two teams expected to bring up the bottom of the Big 12 South; if both of these two teams are solid this year, it means the Big 12 South may be ridiculously tough, and by extension, it makes the Big 12 Conference look very good.

2. Conversely, the Mountain West did its damage against Colorado and Oklahoma. What's more disconcerting -- a sleeper in Colorado coming unglued, or a power in Oklahoma getting knocked off?

I am not sure if either of these games can really be considered disconcerting, in that the losses weren't huge upsets. BYU is a ranked team, it was known coming in that Oklahoma was going to struggle some with an inexperienced offensive line, and if you take away anyone's starting QB, there are going to be issues. The fact that BYU won given the circumstances in the game really isn't a surprise. However, a weak Oklahoma is not good for the conference as a whole, because one of the storylines this season was going to be a top 5 Oklahoma team fighting with a top 5 texas team for conference supremacy; if Oklahoma loses multiple games before facing texas in October, it does not help the reputation or image of the conference. It also may mean there is a clear field for texas for the division and conference title.

Seeing Colorado come unglued against Colorado State wasn't disconcerting at all; after the previous three years, I think we've all become used to seeing Dan Hawkins' team perform poorly. Sunday's loss to Colorado State was just another another drop in the overflowing bucket of disappointment that has been the Dan Hawkins tenure in Boulder. Oklahoma's loss to BYU was a fluke win for the MWC that could have been avoided by better preparation of a backup QB by the Sooner staff; Colorado's loss is just another disappointing loss to add to Hawkins' resume.

3. Right now, the college football world is rotating around a shoulder that can't rotate itself. What does the Sam Bradford injury mean for the conference right now?

It means the conference's best storyline coming into the season (Bradford vs. McCoy for the Heisman) is dead before the first chapter was even written. Bradford's absence means Oklahoma is significantly weakened, and it means that there is one less serious contendor for the national title in conference. With Bradford, even with a poor offensive line, Oklahoma is a threat to win the conference and compete for the BCS title. Without Bradford, Oklahoma might only be an 8-win team. Bradford's injury could cost the conference millions in lost bowl revenue, and that is not an exaggeration.

4. How, if at all, did your perception of your team change after week one, both for better and for worse?

I think all Aggies were pleasantly surprised at how well we performed in our first game. I think we all expected to win the game, but to dominate the way we did, to set a record for total offense for a season opener (606 yards), to hold the opposition to only 21 yards rushing; I don't think any of us expected that. I think it is safe to say that our perception of the team has changed for the better, although I think all Aggie fans are still a little cautious; it was only New Mexico, after all.

5. Give us your offensive player of the week, defensive player of the week, and coaching move of the week, including justifications for your selection. You ARE eligible to vote for your own program.

Offensive Player of the Week: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

25-33 passing for 319 yds and 3 TDs, 10 rushes for 39 yards and 1 TD against a BCS conference team in a border rivarly season opener that is also his first collegiate start ever is enough to convince me he deserves this week's accolades. Gabbert may make Missouri fans completely forget who Chase Daniel was by the time October rolls around.

Defensive Player of the Week: Von Miller, Jack LB, Texas A&M

He had 3 sacks, almost equalling his total production from last season, and helped hold New Mexico to 21 yards rushing on the game. He is also the current Big 12 leader leads the nation in QB sacks. If he continues to improve as the season goes on, he will be a difference-maker every opposing offense will need to account for.

Coaching Move of the Week: The best coaching move I saw all week was the two-point conversion call by Chris Peterson as Boise State went up on Oregon, 8-0. However, neither of those squads play in the Big 12, so I'm left to go with Art Briles pulling out all the stops in Baylor's win over Wake Forest. I especially liked the shovel pass to Kendall Wright, which he turned into a Sportscenter highlight.
