No mention of UCF playing Florida ??? That's a pretty nice out of conference game.

@johnlee7085 Ай бұрын

Florida has no proven to be good (8 or more wins, 5-7 Ws is just average) in years. They have a brutal schedule this year so likely to be perceived as meh at best. Would be nice to see ucf trounce them. KJ is a beast. Bigger than the starting DBs combined?

Oklahoma State should be able to go undefeated if they are undefeated into the 1st bye

@rogerharris5515 Ай бұрын

As a Utah fan, it's possible that they could sweep. But they'll have to beat whatever good team they meet in the B12 championship. Not only that, the B12 is a whole new conference and that's not a smooth transition. On paper it looks possible. But I think all the strange places they'll play at will create an X factor that will make the games more difficult than they would otherwise be. I would really like to see the Utes sweep, but I won't put any money on it.

Big12 wishlist, if FSU, Clemson, Miami, VA Tech, Louisville, & Duke could somehow end up in the Big12 together it would forever change the landscape of conferences. It could significantly elevate the Big12 & finally put them on par with the SEC & Big10. The Big12 next media deal would be significantly more & make the Big12 more competitive in all sports. But that would be a dream scenario. Those schools in the Big12 along with new & current members could create an alternate SEC style conference.

@CarlaJenkinsTV Ай бұрын

Your wish list will be granted because the Big 10 doesn't have ESPN. If Oklahoma and Texas has to go from the Big 12 to the SEC because both conferences have ESPN contracts, those ACC teams you've mentioned will be over here in the Big 12 too.

@big12plus Ай бұрын

Going undefeated during the season doesn't mean that team will win the B12 championship. You have to win the championship game. Two of Kansas State's B12 Championships were played against undefeated teams. And the teams K-State beat for the B12 FB Championship still went on to play in the National Championship game. The 2 teams were OU in 2003 and TCU in 2022. Last time I checked Utah and Kansas State are tied with the same odds to win the B12 at +350 each.

Utah could do it. 💯 but theres no super power in this conference

@matthewcastleton2263 14 күн бұрын

The last two seasons Utah had Cam Rising as their starting quarterback (2021 and 2022) they won the previous Pac-12 Championship Games and played in the Rose Bowl. Oddly enough, Cam Rising was injured in BOTH of those Rose Bowls (2022 concussion, 2023 torn ACL). Had the 12-team playoff existed in 2021 and 2022, Utah would have made it BOTH of those years. If he stays healthy all year this season, I think they could win the Big 12 too. Rising is that much of a difference maker for Utah and it was proven last season when they didn't have him as he sat out as a medical redshirt (due to the torn ACL he suffered in the 2023 Rose Bowl). That is one thing I'm really going to love going forward in the expanded playoff era. ALL of the former NY6 Bowl games are part of the playoffs now which means NO MORE OPTING OUT OF NY6 BOWL GAMES FOR PLAYERS. If you opt out of a freaking CFP game you aren't worth the price of your scholarship, let alone your NIL deal. If Cam Rising comes back in his senior season and leads Utah to a Big 12 Championship and a CFP berth in his final year, he will go down as arguably the greatest player in Utah football history. Not just quarterback. PLAYER OVERALL. How many players in college football history would have lead their teams to 3 conference championships in their 3 years starting at their school? Anybody?

KU has the best chance of going undefeated just because of schedule - easiest. At manhattan will be tough, but ISU is at home, well actually neutral site in Arrowhead. That should be a wild wild game. Not buying the WVU we’re back concept after just one season with an easy schedule. With the huge conferences becoming the norm, watch for more talk (?whining?) about imbalanced schedules.

A Big12 champion will not be seeded higher than #3 regardless of whether they are undefeated or not. 1&2 will be b1g or sec. Big12 even needs some chaos in acc to get to #3, but that’s the absolute ceiling. It is essentially the same dynamics that will make it virtually impossible for more than one team to make it from any conference not named b1g or sec.

if it's that solid from top to bottom, then it's not possible to also claim that Utah, who has 10 conference opponents, has an easy schedule. I think there's more parity in the top half of the Big 12 than the other conferences, but don't think it's solid top to bottom. Utah has an easier schedule because they dodge K-State and WVU

@KipBennett-qf8yo lol. You still didn't answer. Your excoach took 11. I think he would be the best to know what their talent is. They may not have been 11 starts but depth matters. I'm not high on utah except for the fact they may have the easiest schedule. Ksu has false hype they have lost way to many guys to be as high as they are. That schedule is tuff to. Osu will win the big 12.
