Last season saw two under-the-radar teams play for the Big 12 conference championship as Baylor took down Oklahoma State by a score of 21-16.
This year we may see a similar result. The Big 12 has no clear-cut favorite and is full of parody from top to bottom.
The top two teams from last year lost the majority of their elite defenses but return both starting quarterbacks in Spencer Sanders and Gerry Bohannon.
Oklahoma, TCU and Texas Tech find themselves with first-year head coaches and plenty of roster turnover.
Texas had a very successful offseason in both the transfer portal and 2022 recruiting cycle. Steve Sarkisian needs a bounce-back season if he wants to get the program headed in the right direction.
Kansas State and West Virginia added Power Five starting quarterbacks through the transfer portal and are hoping to escape the middle of the pack.
Here is a projection of each Big 12 team’s win-loss record for the 2022 season.
