As we approach the middle of April, spring football is winding down for most programs around the Big 12 conference.
Last year we saw the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Baylor Bears battle it out for conference supremacy. They edged out the Oklahoma Sooners, who missed the title game for the first time since it was brought back in 2017.
As we approach the 2022 season each team is trying to put themselves in a position to make a run at the title. The top teams will be Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and the Texas Longhorns. The latter reloaded through the transfer portal and on the recruiting trails for the season. Newcomer Quinn Ewers looks to bring Texas back to the top, while Oklahoma is under a new regime with former defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
Next year will look completely different with the additions of BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF. For now, we will focus on the biggest question facing each of the current members of the conference. We start with the defending Big 12 champions.
