The 2022 nonconference schedule in the Big 12 is full of renewed rivalries and early looks into the future of college football. Like Oklahoma did in 2021 with Nebraska, several teams will have pre-realignment matchups with former conference rivals.
West Virginia will take on Pitt for the first time since 2011. Kansas State and Missouri will go head to head for the first time since the Tigers left for the SEC.
Kansas and Texas Tech will take on future Big 12 foe Houston.
Texas gets to host their future conference mate, Alabama, in Austin for the first time since 1922 according to Winsipedia. While the game won’t likely go the Longhorns way, Austin is going to be an incredible atmosphere hosting one of the top teams in the nation.
