The 2023 college football season will be a landmark season for the Big 12. It’ll be its first at 14 season, but also marks the end of an era with the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns heading to the SEC in 2024.
But in 2023, the Big 12 has a chance to be as wild as any conference in America. The additions of UCF, BYU, and Cincinnati add teams that have garnered national recognition for their success in the past decade. Houston brings a familiar face back to the conference in Dana Holgorsen.
Meanwhile, there are a number of teams at the top of the conference that could legitimately contend for a Big 12 title and several more that will be in the conversation if a few things go right. With less than a week before week zero and the start of the 2023 season, we take a shot at predicting each record in the Big 12.
