The Big 12’s best and most traditional programs came to the forefront in 2018. For the first time in nine years, Texas football and the Oklahoma Sooners are back at the top of the Big 12 standings pretty deep into a regular season. Texas and Oklahoma both also have a chance to battle it out in the 2018 Big 12 Championship Game for the second meeting of Red River this fall.
Battling it out against five other Big 12 teams to finish up the 2018 regular season is the final task before that conference title game for head Texas football coach Tom Herman.
