The Big 12 not only saw a team make the College Football Playoff in 2022, but TCU managed to win a game in the playoff to reach the national championship game. This season, we aren’t going to see the same performance from the Horned Frogs, but there is some hype surrounding the traditional powers in this conference. Here, we take a look at the 2023 Big 12 championship betting odds and break down the field as this conference looks to produce another playoff participant.

In the 2023 college football season, the two teams left with a chance to win the Big 12 are the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma State Cowboys. Texas won the Big 12 regular season title, going 8-1 in conference play and 11-1 overall. Oklahoma State finished 7-2 in conference play and won the tiebreaker over the Oklahoma Sooners to make the conference title game, as they beat Oklahoma in the last scheduled Bedlam game.
Texas is a double-digit favorite in the Big 12 title game over Oklahoma State, but there is no guarantee that the Longhorns will win this contest. We saw Kansas State beat an undefeated TCU team last season with the conference championship on the line. We could see a similar upset in this game, even if Texas is expected to win it.
Big 12 Championship Betting & Handicapping
This college football season, the hype surrounding Texas feels justified after their performance on the road against Alabama. The defense of the Longhorns was especially impressive in that game, and the Longhorns are now fully justified as the favorites to win this conference. But every week will be a test for Texas going forward, as they are going to get every team’s best shot the rest of the way.
The question now will be whether Texas can make the College Football Playoff if they do win the Big 12 title game. Texas is in a group of eight or so teams that has a real case to make the playoff. The results of this game and several other conference championship games will determine which teams make the playoff and whether Texas is one of those teams.
