The 2023 football season has brought with it plenty of storylines — particularly in Stillwater — but with all the conference shuffling that is set to take place going into next year, the Big 12 is getting prepared.
The Big 12 will be a 16-team league starting in 2024 with the exits of Oklahoma and Texas and the additions of Colorado, Arizona State, Arizona and Utah. The league on Wednesday released its scheduling matrix for the 2024-2027 seasons.
With specific dates not yet finalized, here is a look at which teams the Cowboys will do battle with in conference play the next four seasons:
2024 — at BYU, at Colorado, at Baylor, at TCU, at Kansas State, Arizona State, Utah, Texas Tech, West Virginia
2025 — at Arizona, at Texas Tech, at Kansas, at UCF, Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Iowa State, Cincinnati
2026 — at Arizona State, at Houston, at Kansas State, at Iowa State, at West Virginia, Colorado, Texas Tech, Kansas, UCF
2027 — at Utah, at Baylor, at Kansas, at Cincinnati, Arizona, BYU, TCU, Iowa State, West Virginia
The scheduling model was developed with a priority on geography, historic matchups and rivalries as well as competitive balance, the Big 12 noted in its release.
