Predicting every Big 12 football team’s final 2021 record

We are nearly 100 days away from the 2021 season. Here’s a look at a projection of every Big 12 football team’s final record this year.

In just over 100 days, Texas will kick off the season against Louisiana on Sept. 4. For Steve Sarkisian, the goal is simple: Get over the ‘Tom Herman only goes 8-4 or worse” hump and bring momentum into the program.

As for the rest of the Big 12, a return to normalcy is back. There will be a full nonconference slate this season, along with everyone being able to play all nine conference games. Baylor, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas all missed out on a Big 12 matchup last season due to COVID-19.

Once again, Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners are the favorites to bring back the Big 12 crown. This season, however, there will be more than just conference championship hopes for the Sooners. Oklahoma is looking to make another College Football Playoff and not get blown out by an SEC program again. National championship buzz is palpable in Norman.

Here’s a look at a projection of every Big 12 football team’s final record for the upcoming 2021 season:

Last season, NFL.com’s Adam Rank predicted the Jacksonville Jaguars to go 11-5, which would’ve marked improvement from their 2018 record of 5-11. With them coming up well short of that, his optimism has changed for 2020 as he slotted them with just three wins for the upcoming season.

This shouldn’t shock anyone as it’s been extremely difficult to find any national pundits high on the Jags this season. The oddsmakers from Vegas haven’t been high on them either as they’ve often times slotted the Jags with the worst record in the NFL.

When explaining why he wasn’t high on the Jags, rank said it boiled down to the Jags losing a lot on defense over the last few seasons. He added that a 3-13 season would be good for the No. 1 overall pick where Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence could be in play.
