Big 12 Midseason College Football Predictions: Every Game, Record, and Bowl Teams for 2024

The former Pac-12 teams were going to show up in the weakened Big 12 and save the day as Utah and Arizona would sweep through the conference, and ...

It could still happen, but a funny thing happened on the way to the preseason narrative. Arizona State turned into one of the most physical teams in college football, Iowa State started to put it all together, and BYU turned into the 2020 powerhouse sans Zach Wilson.

Kansas is ... well ... Kansas is No. 1 in college basketball to start the season. Oklahoma State has been a puzzling flop, and Utah and Arizona have been, for lack of a better word, floopy. The consistency just hasn't been there.

Get ready, because the Big 12 is in for a wild ride over the second half of the season. Anyone can beat anyone else in this league, but we tried to predict what will happen in every Big 12 game and in the conference race, anyway.
