Defense wins championships. Even in the Big 12. Since moving to 10 teams back in 2011, every Big 12 title winner did the following things:

  • Finished in the top three in the Big 12 in turnover margin
  • Finished with an 8-1 record in conference play
  • Finished with a top four defense in points per drive allowed
