Entering the final month of play in the Big 12, there’s a tight race at the top for contention in the Big 12 title game.
TCU and Kansas State are leading the pack, but in a deep Big 12, the two teams that finish one and two in the standings at the end of the season, could look differently.
Though it’s unrealistic and incredibly improbable, Oklahoma is one of six teams with a chance to win the Big 12 title in 2022. They have a 0.1% chance to win the title. Realistically, five teams still have a shot to make it to Arlington and take home a Big 12 crown.
In addition to TCU and Kansas State, Texas, Baylor, and Oklahoma State still have a shot. A lot would need to go write for the Bears, Longhorns, and Cowboys, but with how the Big 12 has been this year, it seems like anyone has a chance to win any game on Saturday.
Let’s take a look at how the conference ranks in the updated ESPN Football Power Index after week nine.
