It appears Heartland Sports is hedging on its Texas doubt. The publication has the Longhorns winning the Big 12 championship game despite a 9-3 regular season prediction.
Interestingly enough, Heartland has Texas and Oklahoma representing the league in the New Years Six despite Kansas State finishing first in their regular season standings. Heartland Sports’ Brian Clinton predicts that the Big 12 winning Longhorns will travel to Arizona to face UTSA in the VRBO Fiesta Bowl.
The interesting tiering of teams has Oklahoma going to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl to face off with its former head coach Lincoln Riley and quarterback Caleb Williams of USC. That potential matchup would particularly be must-see TV.
Let’s look at how Heartland Sports sees the Big 12 season unfolding.
