The Big 12 is beginning its change amidst realignment in college football with four new teams in from the AAC and Independent ranks and Texas and Oklahoma set to play in the conference for the final year before bolting for the SEC.
However, despite being on the way out, Texas is the clear favorite to win the Big 12 for the first time since 2009. Maybe this is the year Texas is finally "back" with former five star quarterabck Quinn Ewers and a host of talent on the offensive side of the ball.
The Big 12 as a whole should be full of interesting teams that will try to knock off Texas, including the defending champions Kansas State, who returns often used backup last season Will Howard and transfer running back Treshaun Ward.
