The Big 12 football conference is going to have more competition and clarity at the top of the standings this coming season than it did in the last two years. And the Texas Longhorns football program should figure into that picture at the top of the Big 12 standings.
According to the ESPN College Football Power Index, the Longhorns rank as the No. 11 team in the country for the 2020 season. ESPN’s College Football Power Index in its most recent update has the Longhorns with a projected final record of 9.5-3.1 (averaged out with the percentage chance that they make a bowl and the Big 12 Championship Game).
