If you asked someone to predict how the Big 12 will play out in 2025, it would be a trick question. It’s an impossible task to predict something so totally unpredictable—just what this parity-filled conference is nowadays.
You might as well pick names out of a hat to determine an order of finish. That’s not just because Arizona State won the conference last year despite being picked 16th in the now-defunct preseason poll. Truly any result is conceivable every weekend, and the dangers of going on the road are even more perilous given some of the home venues that teams benefit from. There are great coaches, even better teams this season and plenty of quarterbacks to build around. If you’re looking for fun this season, just turn on any random Big 12 game because there’s a good chance of it coming down to the final few minutes.
