The Big 12 schedule has finally arrived. In a surprising turn of events, the schedule favors the Texas football program.
The Longhorns will have to travel to Houston to face the Cougars. Though few Texas fans look forward to that road trip, one would imagine Houston’s new stadium can better accommodate fans than its last one.
The schedule isn’t as kind to other Big 12 teams. Most notably, the Big 12 and national runner-up TCU Horned Frogs face a brutal second half. They face five of my top seven Big 12 championship competitors in their last five games.
The Big 12 gave the Oklahoma Sooners a challenging end to the season. Oklahoma travels to Provo to face the BYU Cougars and then closes the season with TCU at home on a short week.
Here’s a look at how the season could play out for my early conference title favorite, the Texas Longhorns.
