The 2022 season is coming to a close and multiple Big 12 teams are vastly different than last season.
TCU and Kansas are the biggest risers in the conference. The Horned Frogs improved from 5-7 in 2021 to 12-0 this season. Kansas finished the season 6-6 after going 2-10 a year ago. Oklahoma plummeted from 11-2 last season to 6-6 this year.
There’s plenty of variance in between those teams. Texas and Kansas State separated from the middle with both teams winning six conference games. Baylor and Oklahoma State fell from Big 12 championship appearances last year to mediocrity.
Undoubtedly bowl performances will skew how each team is perceived over the offseason. Before those results come in, let’s project how Big 12 teams should look next year with a season’s worth of data on each team.
