A crowded field of contenders and shifting conference dynamics make the Big 12 championship race one of the toughest to call – and one of the most rewarding for futures bettors seeking value and upside.
So, how is the Big 12 shaping up in 2025? Here’s what you need to know.
Overview
Last season, Arizona State rolled past Iowa State 45-19 in the Big 12 Championship Game, with running back Cam Skattebo earning MVP honors after a dominant performance.
Four teams finished 7-2 in conference play — Arizona State (11-3 overall), Iowa State (11-3), BYU (11-2), and Colorado (9-4) — creating a crowded and competitive race at the top. Baylor, Texas Tech, and TCU also stayed firmly in the mix with 6-3 records, underscoring the league’s depth and unpredictability throughout the 2024 season.
Big 12 Championship
The Big 12 Championship is awarded each year to the winner of the Big 12 Championship Game. Since eliminating divisions in 2011, the conference has used a round-robin format during the regular season. The top two teams in the final conference standings — determined by conference record and applicable tiebreakers – advance to the championship game. The winner of that single-game matchup is crowned Big 12 champion.

Preseason Team Spotlights
Arizona State Sun Devils (+600)
Arizona State returns as a top contender after capturing the Big 12 title in 2024, but they’ll have to replace star running back Cam Skattebo who was drafted in the 4th round of the NFL Draft. Head coach Kenny Dillingham has built a fast-paced, resilient team that thrived in high-stakes moments last season. Even without Skattebo, the Sun Devils return a strong core and have reloaded through the portal to stay competitive.
At +600, Arizona State remains a compelling pick – especially if they can maintain their offensive rhythm and build on the confidence of last year’s title run.
Kansas State Wildcats (+600)
Chris Klieman’s Wildcats remain one of the most stable and disciplined teams in the conference. Known for their physicality, sharp execution, and balanced attack, K-State is a perennial threat in tight games and rarely beats itself. They didn’t crack the title game last year, but their 2024 consistency and strong finish keep them firmly in the hunt.
At +600, Kansas State offers reliable value for bettors backing experience, coaching, and a proven system that consistently competes.
Texas Tech Red Raiders (+650)
Joey McGuire has Texas Tech trending upward after a solid 8-5 season and 6-3 conference finish. The Red Raiders play with energy on both sides of the ball and are particularly dangerous when they establish rhythm offensively. Their defense also took a step forward in 2024, helping them stay competitive in high-pressure games.
At +650, Texas Tech is a legitimate dark horse – with upside that makes them an appealing mid-tier futures play in a wide-open Big 12 field.
Utah Utes (+700)
Now fully settled into Big 12 competition, Utah brings a strong defensive identity and a battle-tested culture under head coach Kyle Whittingham. The Utes have long been known for their physicality, game control, and toughness – all traits that play well in a crowded title race. They stayed competitive last year and look poised to take the next step.
At +700, Utah is a smart pick for bettors who trust veteran coaching and postseason experience to carry them deep.
Baylor Bears (+800)
After a 6-3 Big 12 record and an 8-5 overall finish, Baylor remains a program with a high ceiling under Dave Aranda. Known for his defensive background and disciplined teams, Aranda has the Bears playing hard-nosed, opportunistic football. With improved depth and a more consistent offensive approach, Baylor is well-positioned to take a leap.
At +800, the Bears are a sneaky value pick – especially for those looking to back a physical, well-coached team that can grind out close wins.
