Texas Tech enters as the consensus favorite to repeat as Big 12 champion, driven by its 2025 title, transfer-portal reload on both lines, healthy quarterback Will Hammond, and depth at running back that positions the Red Raiders as the league’s measuring stick in preseason polls and projections. BYU follows closely behind with significant returning production, including quarterback Bear Bachmeier and rushing leader LJ Martin, plus a veteran defense under Kalani Sitake, creating a realistic path to unseat the champs. Utah begins a new era under head coach Morgan Scalley after Kyle Whittingham’s departure, while Houston shows continued upward trajectory under Willie Fritz; these factors, alongside the conference’s recent pattern of different winners, keep the top contenders tightly bunched in trader pricing ahead of the late-August kickoff.
