The 2019 Big 12 season ended the same way it did for the past five years, with Oklahoma winning the conference. This year, it was against Baylor in the conference championship game, after facing TCU and Texas in previous seasons. While much might not change at the very top, there should be some shakeup throughout the rest of the Big 12.
Four different coaches will be in their second year at their respective programs, as most teams were in a rebuilding year last season. Baylor will be on the only team with a brand new coach this season, as the other four teams (Kansas, Kansas State, Texas Tech, and West Virginia) will be wanting to take the next step under the coaches. As for experienced coaches, Tom Herman, Matt Campbell, and Gary Patterson will be looking to reach the level Lincoln Riley has been at during his tenure in Norman.
Texas will be expected to compete at the very top of the conference in 2020. The goal is to make the Big 12 championship game at the very least, especially after missing out in 2019. Returning a lot of talent and hiring brand new coordinators, Herman will need to perform in order to have a successful fourth season in Austin.
Here are some way too early predictions for how Texas and the rest of the Big 12 will shake out in the 2020 football season.
