Texas Tech enters 2026 as the clear preseason favorite to repeat as Big 12 champion, with trader consensus reflecting roughly even-money implied probability driven by its dominant 2025 title run, roster reload via the transfer portal, and defensive strength even after losing quarterback Brendan Sorsby. Returning production at skill positions and a favorable schedule support the Red Raiders' edge, though quarterback Will Hammond's integration introduces some uncertainty. BYU follows as the primary challenger with quarterback Bear Bachmeier and running back LJ Martin providing continuity under Kalani Sitake, while Utah transitions to new head coach Morgan Scalley but retains backfield talent. The depth across Houston, Arizona, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State creates a competitive field where any slip by the top contenders could quickly shift the race in a conference known for parity and upsets.
