CHAOS in Big 12: BYU Slams Arizona, Utah Pounded by Arizona State, Iowa State Rolls, Colorado Dead?

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

The addition of the Pac-12’s top programs to the Big 12 has made the conference one of the most evenly matched and competitive leagues in college football. With teams like Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado joining the ranks of traditional Big 12 powers such as Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State, the competition is fiercer than ever. These new additions bring strong football traditions, passionate fan bases, and recent success that only elevate the level of play across the board.

Utah, fresh off multiple Pac-12 titles and frequent appearances in the College Football Playoff conversation, instantly adds a powerhouse to the Big 12. Arizona, under new leadership, has shown promise, while Arizona State has always had the ability to be a tough out. Colorado, though up and down in recent years, has been revitalized under head coach Deion Sanders, creating a buzz that has already generated national attention.

This level of competition ensures that no game in the Big 12 can be taken lightly. Teams like BYU, known for their disciplined and high-powered offense, and Baylor, who have enjoyed recent success in the conference, will now face a wider array of talented opponents. Every matchup holds significance, making it difficult for any one team to dominate the conference.

With the depth and balance of talent across the board, the Big 12 is set up to be a league where parity reigns, and any team can win on any given Saturday. This competitive environment promises high-stakes football and unpredictability, making the Big 12 one of the most thrilling conferences in the country.
