USA TODAY Sports Big 12 Bowl projections for the 2023 season

A look at the final preseason bowl projections for the Big 12 from USA TODAY Sports.

Week 1 will give us a full slate of games this weekend, marking the full start of the 2023 college football season.

The Oklahoma Sooners should get off to a great start against the visiting Arkansas State Red Wolves. It’s expected the Sooners will bounce back this season, erasing what happened in the 2022 season and truly kickstarting the Brent Venables era in Norman.

How successful the season will be is anyone’s guess. Most expect the Sooners to get back into the Big 12 title game or at least win nine or ten games.

As we’ve seen in recent years, the Big 12 is difficult to figure, with one or two teams often exceeding preseason expectations.

With the start of the Oklahoma Sooners season coming Saturday, let’s take one more look at the USA TODAY Sports bowl projections and where each Big 12 team lands. The College Football Playoff projection features some regular attendees.
