It’s a season of big changes in college football, the most notable of which is the move from a 4-team playoff to one that will be composed of 12 teams.
It’s something that fans have been asking for, but how will it all play out?
My Analysis
Will it still be the usual names that make it to the Championship Game, or will we see a lower seeded team go on a run that takes them all the way to the big game. We are going to need to wait and see how it all plays out. Another change is in the conferences, with a ton of teams moving to new homes. In the Big 12, Texas and Oklahoma are gone, with Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah coming into to expand the conference to 16 teams. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the biggest games on the Big 12 schedule this coming season.
^Utah Utes at Oklahoma State Cowboys
The Utes may be new to the conference, but the bookies already have them in as the favorite to win it. There are many fans and pundits who are of the belief that this game might well be a preview of the Conference Championship Game later in the season, but with this one coming so early in the season, it could well have an impact on the conference as a whole. This one is scheduled for September 21.

Kansas Jayhawks at Kansas State Wildcats
In college sports, there is nothing quite as fun as a rivalry game, with this one arguably the biggest in the conference now that Texas and Oklahoma are in the SEC. The Wildcats are among the favorites to win the Big 12, but the Jayhawks are not that far behind them in the eyes of the bookies. We have two very good QBs set to square off in this one, so perhaps expect some offensive fireworks on October 26.

BYU Cougars at Utah Utes
This is another big in-state rivalry game and one that we haven’t seen for a couple of years. The Holy War has returned and is now a protected conference rivalry game that we will be enjoying for years to come. It is going to be fun to see the bad blood renewed after a 2-year hiatus. Utah will be the clear favorite on November 9, but as we have seen in rivalry games in the past, form and standings tend to go out the window rather quickly.

TCU Horned Frogs at Baylor Bears
The Horned Frogs are only a couple of years removed from a trip to the National Championship Game, which they lost in embarrassing fashion to Georgia. TCU is also on a run of 4 straight wins over their state rivals, but these meetings tend to be very close, with 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two teams decided by 10 points or less. This is one that Big 12 fans will almost certainly have circled on their calendar, with this matchup set to go on November 2.

Big 12 Most Anticipated Conference Betting Matches
Previous Betting News
This is going to be a strange sort of season in the Big 12, with no less than 14 teams set to do battle for conference supremacy. We have BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF all joining the fold for this season, while Oklahoma and Texas will be bidding farewell to the Big 12 this year as they prepare to head to the SEC for the start of the 2024 season. There are a ton of huge conference games set to come our way in the coming months, with Kansas State looking to defend their championship in what should be an incredibly difficult task. There is a lot of ground to cover here, so let’s take a look at some of the matchups that are a must watch.
NCAAF 2023 Season: Big 12 Most Anticipated Conference Betting Matches | MyBookie Regular Season Football Betting Preview
TCU Horned Frogs at Houston Cougars
College Football Week 3
When: September 16, at 8:00 PM ET
Where: TDECU Stadium, Houston, TX
This could well be a transition year for the Horned Frogs after making it all the way to the National Championship and a crushing loss to Georgia last season. They will have a new QB, and the expectation is that they will take a backward step in 2023. Their first major conference rest comes in Week 3, when they will head to Houston to face the Cougars.

UCF Knights at Kansas State Wildcats
College Football Week 4
When: September 23, at TBD
Where: Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS
The defending Big 12 champions will open their conference slate at home, with UCF heading into town in Week 4. The Wildcats went 7-2 in the conference last season, with many pundits believing that they can actually be better this year. Getting the conference schedule off to a solid start would help, but this will be a tough one.

Oklahoma Sooners at Texas Longhorns
College Football Week 6
When: October 7, at TBD
Where: Cotton Bowl, Dallas, TX
You cannot talk about big games in college football without talking about the Red River Showdown. This will be the final meeting between these teams as a part of the Big 12, as both will be playing their trade in the SEC starting next season. No matter where they play, this is a date that all football fans have circled on their calendar.

BYU Cougars at TCU Horned Frogs
College Football Week 7
When: October 14, at TBD
Where: Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, TX
If any of the new teams can head into the Big 12 and make some noise, my money would be on BYU. It is worth noting that they beat Baylor in a thriller last season in the early going, sending a message to their future conference pals that they are not coming in just to make up the numbers. This will be a stern test at the midway point of the season.

TCU Horned Frogs at Kansas State Wildcats
College Football Week 8
When: October 21, at TBD
Where: Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Manhattan, KS
What we have here is a rematch of the Big 12 Conference Championship Game from last season, and if this one is even half the game that we saw last season, then we are in for a treat. These two teams are considered the favorites to win the conference, so this one may well decide who lands on top of the regular season standings.

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Texas Longhorns
College Football Week 13
When: November 24, at 7:30 PM ET
Where: DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin, TX
The Red Raiders finished last season on a high, winning 4 in a row to close things out at 8-5, which was exactly the same record as the Texas Longhorns. It was Texas who took this game last season, beating out the Red Raiders in a 37-34 OT thriller. Let’s hope for more of the same this season.
