After big wins, are Colorado, Utah, and Kansas State about to get their seasons back on track? Predictions for every remaining 2025 Big 12 game.
Well, that’s more like it.
The Big 12 is what we all thought it would be, to a point. It’s about even from almost top to bottom, Texas Tech leading the pack, Oklahoma State in the basement, and everyone in between beating each other up.
Here are the Big 12 schedules and our picks for every remaining game.
Big 12 Season Outlook and Game-by-Game Predictions Before Week 8

Big 12 Season Calls and Predictions Going into Week 8
– @PeteFiutak
– Kansas and Kansas State both need the win against each other at the end of the month. The winner will likely get to six wins with a bowl game, the loser will struggle to get eligible.
– BYU vs Utah now sets the tone for the rest of the Big 12 season. BYU is battling every week, but it’s still undefeated. A loss, though, and things could crash with road games at Iowa State and Texas Tech next.
– If Utah really is back on track, it should go on a run with four of the next five games in Salt Lake City coming after the BYU showdown.
