Texas is viewed highly in one Big 12 standings prediction. Shehan Jeyarajah of CBS Sports revealed his record predictions for every Big 12 team.
Unsurprisingly, the top four included Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas State and Texas Tech. The Big 12 championship would most likely involve two of these four teams given what the teams return and who they play.
Kansas State returns as the conference title winner. Rightfully many view the team as a favorite to defend the mantle this season. Texas and Texas Tech stand as the primary contenders based on returning production.
The Oklahoma Sooners are seen as a darkhorse Big 12 title contender despite a 6-7 season last year. The schedule sets up nicely as the team avoids Texas Tech, Kansas State and Baylor. Many tout the team’s unlucky record in one-score games as reason for a bounce-back.
Here’s a complete look at Jeyarajah’s Big 12 record predictions for the 2023 season.
