Big 12’s New Power Rankings | Arizona Wildcats Football News

The Big 12’s preseason poll is back — and it’s wild. After last year’s embarrassment when Arizona State was picked dead last then went on to win it all, the conference’s image took a hit. Now, national outlets are projecting a new 16-team landscape, with Texas Tech dominating as the heavy favorite, snagging 14 of 16 first-place votes. BYU follows in second, with Arizona and Houston tied for third. Utah and TCU round out the top six, while ASU slips in at seventh — just ahead of Kansas State and Oklahoma State. The bottom half? Baylor, Cincinnati, and Kansas battle for the lower tier, with West Virginia, UCF, Colorado, and Iowa State bringing up the rear. With so many new faces and powerhouse programs colliding, this season’s going to be a chaotic, unpredictable thrill ride — and we can’t wait to see how the preseason hype stacks up against reality.
